Wondering if both a clownfish and porcelain crab can simultaneously host an anemone?

Wondering if both a clownfish and porcelain crab can simultaneously host an anemone?

I recently got a bta and porcelain crab and he hosted my bta instead of my rfa like I hoped and now I’m wondering the same question so I will be following this thread

Not all nems are good hosts for crabs... carpets and other more "firm" ones are usually better. I am not saying that BTAs or Condys are impossible, just do not always work out well. Clowns and crabs can coexist in most situations. When I had a carpet, the crab stayed near the mouth and the clowns out into the body more.

As with any symbiotic relationship, what works for one might not work for the other.
