Anemone Hermit Crab

[SkillKing21]

I saw this really nice HermitCrab with a few anemone on its shell but they said it was not reef safe.I was wondering if they are good a reef tank or will they kill my corals?

They are not reef safe. They eat fish, snails, and worms, etc..

I really only have big fish in my tank so that won’t really be a problem but will they harm corals?

The anemone that they carry will sting corals. I wouldn't risk it.

If looking for interesting inverts, as long as there isnt any fish that could eat them. Sexy shrimp are actually quite outgoing. But if any fish is listed as possibly eating inverts, they will be eaten.

Pom pom crabs also really dont pose a threat to any corals or fish. Though are more cryptic, but not as much as some coral banded shrimp.

Yeah I'm not going to risk it I got a 10,000$ Coral collection.
