Porcelain anemone crab!!

[alindell]

This little porcelain anemone crab has taken up residence in my BTA after a month of chilling in a green hairy mushroom. Now he has kicked out the clownfish and the BTA is not happy as
the BTA is 80% closed up.
I wonder if this could be a bad thing. Will the anemone adjust, will the clownfish not go back to the BTA, can the crab hurt the anemone. Anyone have advice with these guys

The anemone will adjust. Porcelain crabs will frequently inhabit all manner of anemones.

I have 2 tanks with porcelain crabs and clowns inhabiting the same anemone. The crab won’t hurt the anemone, otherwise the nem would eat it. It’s probably not the reason it’s closed up, nems do that for various reasons all the time.
