i forget, what kinda lighting did you have?
the anemone looks like hes settling in well, he found a spot. be careful when the clowns are getting used to his as he will sting them if they make a sudden movements, until he accepts them as his "guests"
i do hope he will be okay, a 15g is a little cramped for a host anemone
many people have had bad experiences with emerald crabs and coral, so watch him carefully

I have 2x 65 watt fixtures 4 bulbs compacts i believe.. I will move up when im ready for hard corals.. He has been floating around and he stuck to a few spots but I read they like lots of light so i put the other power head in for abit he floated around I took it out he grabbed the wall.. he seems happy up there and I wont bug him 
there is lots of spaces for the crab to go just plain life rock with algae and bacteria.. i got though pod things on my glass if you look close.. came from my rock or something.
BTW that is the only anemone i will be keeping so I hope he lives aswell I have high hopes but if he dies I said I wouldnt ever try again lol.. till i get a nice 38 or 55..

How long has the tank been set up? Anemones aren't really recommended for tanks that have been set up for less than 6 months. Depending on the species, there's a good chance that your lighting won't be adequate anyway.
Yea thats what I was told today but I cant get to the store to take him back there is a snow storm anbd he stuck tio the wall I'm just trying to keep him alive.. I got alot of lighting I dont know the exact numbers but its something like 65 watts per bulb and its x4
If it is 4x T5 (T5, or T5HO?), or even 4x 65w CF, both should be "ok" for some anemones, especially in a small 15G.. not the ideal light, but good enough for them to survive. My concern is the cloudiness of your tank.. it seems VERY new.. plus the fact your still adding live rock means your tank is no where near the point of being "stable". I really don't mean to sound negative, but there is a low chance of survival. To get him off the glass just use a credit card or something similar to wedge between it and the glass. It will come off with a little effort and not hurting it.. getting them off of rocks is the hard one and I don't recommend trying.
The live rock has been in the tank for 3 months. the tank has had fish for 6 weeks. the rock was cured before i got it. I have the test kits and If you didnt read I said I was moving stuff around and thats why it is cloudy. its usualy clear as day and also its a webcam.
Also there is 17lbs of live rock in there.. i would only be adding more for asthetics.
