I think I will have to take the risk and maybe add them at night so they have a chance. My Hawkfish is still kinda small so maybe and if they can stay away from my Coral Banded Shrimp aswell they may survive long enough to take care of my aptasia (there really isn't much, but in my eyes its a plague )

I read some literature on the internet Both mention these crabs near the bottom of the page:

But if noone has had sucess I guess I will spend my money on some peppermints
