I have a 3 gallon pico with duncans, torches, and ricordea. I want to get an anemone crab and I've read of them hosting in all three of these corals. I would not want to get an anemone due to pico space constraints so will the anemone crab host in any of these corals (preferably the duncan) without adverse effects to either party?
 
They don't need anything special. They will find a spot they like and filter feed all day.
we had one in our 10 gallon with a porcelain crab. They hung out together all day filtering food from the water column.
we used to spot feed them just to make sure they were well fed
 
I heard anemone crabs without a place to host end up hiding? I would like my anemone crab to be active if possible.
 
Ours was always fairly visible. This tank was right beside the couch, and i sat beside it everyday

I spot feed mine and he stays all the time in the most visible place possible so I don't ever dare to forget to feed him lol. Sometimes we play pull with the nori XD Before was hosting my torch/frogspawn. Now that the torch is dead is hosting the new duncan frag. I hope he will be gentle...
