That being said, crabs seem to have their own personalities. We've all heard about the so called "reef safe" hermits and emerald crabs eating corals. When I first started I found the same kind of brown hairy crab in my rock. Everyone said to get rid of it but he was a model citizen. Never ate anything he wasn't supposed to, even became tame enough to take pellets from my fingers. I'm glad I didn't kill him and was a bit sad when I found him dead one morning.
