because it is a crab and sees easy food and goes for it. try giving the crab something to munch on before you feed the nem and see if it leaves the nem alone.

I'm suprised the nem doesn't have crab for dinner.
I have a not so bright clown that steals food from her nem. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?
Try to distract the crab first. The nem should grab the food pretty quickly.

Is your crab a anemone Crab?

What are they like to keep? I really like them was thinking of introducing one for my Malu Anemone that sits on the sand, but I'm worried my Ruby clowns will try and kill it haha, even though they occupy 2 other anemones haha
