hehehe...does that make it just a hermit now?  I wouldn't be concerned about the crab but I'd be concerned about it's old coral "shell". Can you retrieve it and maybe mount it to your rock work?
I would think that the crab would be fine with one anemone but am not sure. If it's hiding, it's either still getting used to its surroundings or it's the nature of the beast | |

According to liveaquaria.com:
"The diet of the Pom Pom Crab should include meaty foods such as mysid shrimp, chopped fish and clams." | |
