During my usual 1 hour/day tank watch
I found another hitchhiker. Pretty sure it came in with some soft coral I bought the other day. I tried to take a decent pictures for 2 nights but this one seems to be rather shy. It definitely is a crab and I searched the reference section already but was not able to identify yet. It looks similar to the Xanthidae which as a read is bad news.
Here is a description
- 1 1/2 - 2 inches
- smal dark red pinchers, pincher arm seems to be same width then other legs
- striped legs
- flat body
- a bit hairy
- seems to be grazing off the rock
- nocturnal
Here is the best I could get:

Lemme know if you can identify this one.
Thanks,
