    The male still isn't hosting...I think he is afraid of getting crabs.

    Very cool Jim and great pics. What kind of crab is that? I don't know much about them as I never put one in my tank in fear of eating coral (even the reef safe ones). Does the crab ever leave the nem? I know my clowns dont....but might consider one if the crab stayed put and behaved himsef.

    Porcelain crabs are very reef safe. I miss mine so much. She just disappeared after the upgrade
