I have a porcelain crab that used to hang out with my little bubble tip but it hasn't been to happy recently so he's closed up during the day. My porcelain has decided he wants a new friend and has been hanging around my torch for the last day and this morning my torch has been relatively closed. Is it just bothering the torch or trying to "eat" from it and hurting the torch.

Probably just annoying it.
 
He has left it alone for the last day but its still closed. Looks like a spot might be missing near the top right but I could be wrong as I've never really looked at it closed. Do you think it'll open back up again in a few days?
 
Just use something to shoo the crab away. My porcelains typically rehouse themselves every couple of weeks. Also, after it gets away from the torch, it probably won’t be able to find it again unless it stumbles upon it.
