Porcelain crabs irritating feather dusters. Worth worrying?

[Lyss]

Hi All, I added two porcelain crabs to my tank y’day — the Caribbean kind, not the red spotted anemone kind. Anyway, these guys are really cool. They hid all day yesterday, but when I fed the tank this morning I saw them both on the rocks feeding.

Tonight they have found my two feather dusters and have taken to climbing in the rock crevices the dusters have anchored themselves in, and sitting on or right next to the dusters. Dusters don’t like it —they’re closed up. Usually they’re happily open 24/7, so I’m a little worried.

Something worth worrying about? Or will the dusters likely get used to it and eventually not be bothered?

Eventually they should strike a balance. Porcelains are opportunistic feeders.
