pom pom crab and porcelain crab

I have a 3 gal with a few sexy shrimp and wondered if I could also have a pom pom and a porcelain in there also.

Yup, this is probably the best way to keep boxer crabs as you dont really see them too often in a normal reef set up. And if you get a porcelain make sure its not a anemone one as they dont do well without a host anemone.

Thank you! Will porcelains pair up with anything else, i.e. Xenia?

I think they might normally host some corals, I think a xenia would be too soft for them. Mine have always lived in a dead SPs coral skeleton I bought just for them. I think they like special crowded rocks with flow to hide in, but I could be wrong

I have a porcelain crab living in a group of orange ricordea. He lived in a BTA for many months - I'm not sure if leaving was his idea, or whether the maroon clowns got tired of him and booted him. He's the white with red markings.
