porcelain crab

I recently added a porcelain crab to my nano, and I read that some species host in nems and some don’t. Can anyone ID him and tell me if he’s one that would prefer a nem in the future? I’m worried that if he is an anemone crab then he and my clowns will fight over it. I also know he’s a filter...
