Even moving the crab to another area of the tank did not work. I tink they are best hosting in large carpet anemones.

Good luck!
*sigh* Let me add this to my list of "Things I wished I had of known before hand"

The rock it is on is a supporting base rock that is holding up several other rocks, which also happens to be one rocks my dwarf golden moray eel likes to live in. So unfortunately I would have to move a heck of a lot of rock, and potentially take away a home (heaven knows I'd never get it back in the same spot) to get at the rbta. Which honestly I'm not going to do. Really wishing I removed the crab when they were on the loose rock at the top of the tank It's hard to tell but right now I don't see the crab, but he definitely could still be there as I can't really see the bottom and part of the one side of the RBTA. If I see the crab I'll try to remove/rehome him.

Thanks for the info. hopefully we can save someone else from making this mistake.
