Why does my anemone crab pinch my anemone

[weldrick208658]

Just wondering why he pinches him and makes him close whenever I’m near

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

He's not hurting it, he's cuddling it like a blanket, its cute. Its an anemone crab after all....

Maybe the crab gets jealous and doesn't want you looking at his anemone

Just giving the anemone a playful tushy pinch.

If it's only when you come near it seems like it would be to protect the nem from potential danger as part of its symbiotic relationship with the nem.
