Porcelain Crabs and snails (1 Viewer)

[Livestuff]

So I have a vermided snail issue and looking to try a large order of Bumble Bee Snails from Reef clearers. While checking out their site for other things I
ran across these crabs. I have had them in the past but that was to long ago to remember any issues. So I have a Nem tank with 3 clowns and 3 different Nems (5 total).
The Clowns for the most part are getting along. Each has a Nem or 2 to themselves. My ? is would they except the porcelain crab into the mix or pick on it till
it's gone?
Thanks Scott

It's hit or miss in my experience, my clowns lived with a porcelain crab just fine in my large anemones 8+" across, but we're not too fond of sharing with the smaller ones

Thanks. That's what I was thinking. The 1 nem is about 8 inches the others are smaller. We'll see.

The porcelain crab in my tank has moved to 3 different nems so far and has found one it likes where my clowns won’t bother him. I’ve found they prefer their own personal Nem, at least in my tank they do

Maxi mini anemones I've found to be a favorite of the porcelain crab

I'm thinking I will wait till there are a few more Nems in the tank. I think I need to add some more rockwork possibly so they can spread out some.
thanks for the info.

So Ordered some clean up critters from Reef Cleaners. They shipped out Monday and were at my parents house by 230pm Tuesday.
I ordered below. Acclimated PER directions and every one was moving around once in the tanks. I had them shipped to the parents place as they were planning on being home all day and would except the order. We'll see if the Bumble bees do any damage to the Vermided snails.
Sorry the paste option did not paste only what I wanted to...

I am about to rehome one of my rocks with my oldest mini maxi on it, I need the sand space unfortunately in the main reef. If you want to dive into that I would love for you to be the new owner!

So far to be honest I'm not seeing a real change in the vermided snails. I do see bumble snails in the tank, but its not that easy to find them.
I'll figure out a way to deal with them some how. 1 rock at a time I'm guessing
