My proclein anemone crab lost his claw for some reason and I was wondering if it grown back or will he only have one claw from now on thanks !

He'll regrow it after a molt. It may not be the same size as his other claw. After each subsequent molt, it'll get bigger until it's normal size.

hi fairly new here. Do proclein anemone crab eat/disturb any coral or fish? Thanks

They are reef safe, and will not harm other invertebrates or corals. But always keep in mind crabs will turn opportunistic if they want such as destroying a reef :) If you keep them feed all the time you will be fine.

 

Filters the water for plankton food, but will also scavenge for larger meaty portions. Offer the crab small bits of fish, shrimp or meaty food, as well as foods designed for filter feeders.

 

Would get the Seachem Zoopplankton works amazing for my 5 different inverts in my two tanks.

thank you for the info. My lfs have about five each hosting their anenome and I have been going there to watch them once a week to see if they are still there so thinking of getting one.

Not any of the ones I've kept. Some of the anemone-dwelling ones can possibly do poorly without a host present, but mine adapted to being hosted by a ricordea patch and has been doing well for several months.

 

The more common rock-dwelling red/purple and blue/red ones will usually tuck themselves in under a rock ledge or under patches of zoas... they're shy but after a while of not being attacked by anything they'll start to pop out around mealtime and hanging out in visible locations during the day.

 

No science to this but in my experience the rock species are much more out and about when there's more than one of them present.
