I picked up a porcelain crab at Pure last week to go with my rock flower. I went to introduce it into the tank and the rock flower started close up on it as if it was going to eat the crab. I managed to get the crab out fast enough though. Is this something I should worry about? I thought that rock flowers would normally host a porcelain crab?
 
I had a similar situation, when I introduced my first porcelain, but I moved it nearby and it started to rub it's clws on the anemone, and then rubbing it on itself,after a while of this it ventured onto it and now it hangs out on the nem all day.
 
I have seen several rock flower nems do this to a hosted porcelain crab. In my experience, it's completely normal behavior.
