Hermit crab tankmates

[Padiwan cichlidiot]

I caught this amazing hermit crab around 6 months ago. He has 3 big anemones and countless small ones. I am wondering what creatures could harm him. Could sharp toothed morays or snowflake/zebra morays harm him? Could an octopus harm him? Any fish? Any advise would be welcome.

Hmm, he is a biggun. If a moray could fit them in their mouth they will eat him, or at least try. Octopus would go after him too.

I would only keep non-agro fish with him, and fish that are fast enough to get away from him, haha

Thanks for the info. so only small morays...
Would protecting himself with his claws and anemones play a factor, or is that only for apearance?

well they are likely for protection, but it wouldnt stop an agressive pred from taking him. Personaly I wouldn't put any pred in that tank that eats invertibrates.

Hes a cool looking guy, and I wouldnt want to chance loosing him, so I am with Kevin on this.

Yup...octo would make short work of that guy.
