White Hairy Crab

[MMAX]

It will be real hard to get a picture of him. He rarely comes out. From what I've seen, his claws are fairly small, he's mostly white with small brownish dots and he's very hairy. I've seen pictures of anemone crabs before and they didn't look to be hairy at all.

It's really tough with crabs, Usually the rule of thumb is if they have big claws they aren't too good. I would say if you aren't sure you should banish him to the sump, at least until he can be properly identified.

I found a picture on a different site and he's almost identical to this. They called him a decorator crab.

I think they call them decorator crabs because that's about all they are good for...decorating your tank. I'd leave it in the tank if you like it.

Decorators crabs are fine..Kind of funny little crabs..No major issues in a reef tank....
