Hairy legs or smooth legs?

Birdsnest's are not acro's. Every acro crab I have seen has been in an acro. Acro crabs are usually smooth and white with a black strip through their eyes.

upon closer inspection... he has a furry body, including legs (hairs are very difficult to see - same color as the body) but definitely there
