imo most crabs are spontaneus to attack living things when starved. So unless you feel you can provide it with all available food 24/7 then go for it. But if not, you may end up with dead smaller fish, chewed corals ect.

I had a crab that just die(thank god) they are impossible to catch. He ate 8 of my green chromis before my dog faced puffer fish got him! Hahaha.

I bought 2 pom-poms aka boxers and you'll never ever see them except on rare occasions. Only noturnal and love to stick to the rocks.
I feel mine were a waste of money.

And the pom-poms are anemones. I've heard they are difficult to keep alive and fully pom-pomed up for long.

Not if there's enough food. They farmer the anemones too so they can be replaced.
