I noticed my elegance doesnt look as happy as it was a week ago. Looking closer I found one of my anemone crabs has taken up residence in it. No clue why, theres about 5 rock flower nems but he likes the elegance I guess. Is the crab whats irritating him?

most likely. don't think this to be a regular/ordinary pairing. mine definitely closed up a few of my RFA's whenever it would move around, so i wouldn't be too alarmed unless the elegance shows more signs of stress(losing coloration, shrinking, etc)

Thank you! Yeah I dont know what he is thinking, pulled him off and moved him to a RFA and nope just looked and he is back on my elegance. -.- the flesh looks okay but the tentacles dont seem as long as they should be

my wild guess would've been that it was getting eaten by the elegance, haha. but if you moved it, and it moved back, i would be even less worried than originally!

I thought so too the first time I saw it on there but this dude sits on top of the elegance and filter feeds and is having the time of his life lol I just dont want my elegance to die, I really like it! My favorite coral!
