Timor wrasse with porcelain?

[joec]

How likely are porcelain crabs safe with a 3” Timor in a 36x18x21?

There are trochus snails in with the Timor now. She pecked at their shells for the first day or two but paid no attention after that

I just got one too. I guess I’m going to find out to with the three wrasses I have.

Hey let me know how it goes, I have not purchased a Porcelain crab yet.

What kind of wrasses do you have?

Melanarus, Christmas and a Male Blue Star Leopard.

I had a Timor wrasse for a couple of years with 3 porcelain crabs and no issues at all. Only thing he decided (along with my newly transitioned Dusky wrasse) he did not like was my female Blue Star leopard. After about a year, they started to terrorize her. I took the Timor out and donated back to the LFS. Beautiful fish though. Good luck w/ yours!

Is there an anemone for the crab? If so it should be fine. Timor wrasses usually aren't that tough on inverts.

I love this wrasse, beautiful, good temperment (my 2" tail spot intimidates her, LOL), active but not insanely so. It also not very expensive for a not so common fish. I think I paid $35.

No anemone but I was planning on getting the blue type. Isn't he white one more the anemone type?

So you think it will likely be ok?

I liked mine too, but I loved my Blue Star even more! I think I paid around the same, either $30 or $35. I also have 2 small Pom Pom crabs that he never went near. I have no idea why he became to crazy all of a sudden. Hopfully yours stays w/ the good temperment. Good luck!
