My protein skimmer is foaming up some green funk too!

I saw the COOLEST crabs last night at my LFS, Anenome Crabs. I wanted to take them home SO bad, but I decided to wait and do some research on them. They need an Anenome (hense the name) so I did some research on Anenomes. I'm a little confused. Are Anenomes hard to keep? Would they sting my eel? I know Inverts are a caution when owning an eel but I'm willing to take my chances. I figure if I keep my eel well fed he'll leave the crabs alone. Does anyone have or has had Anenome Crabs? Any advice, thoughts, etc.?

My readings are great comparted to what they were a week ago. I'm so tempted to add more live rock and a Scorpionfish, but I think I'll give my tank a little more time at this improved stage before doing so.

Thanks!

I do not have any soft corals at this time. I have only Live Rock, an Eel, Hermit Crabs, and Snails. I will do more research given the link you have provided (Thank you!) Do I need corals for this crab or will it be happy with Live Rock w/plenty of places to hang out?

thank you!

Have you heard that Anenomes Crabs should be in pairs? That is what I read in their description/bio on LiveAquaria.com.

I took a reading this afternoon and the Nitrites may be around .05. I think they are 0, my husband says a tad more. If it is around .05 can I still add my Anenome Crab?
