Acro crab ID

[IPT]

I just got a new Stag and I was checking it out in the OT tank and boom, there is a little crabs claws snipping away. I have yet to get a decent picture of him but he seems smooth (hairly ones are bad right?). Seems to be pale yellowish in color, maybe off white with orange stripes or dots. I know I saw a link once on here that had pictures and ID's of Acro crabs but I can't find it. Anyone care to shed some light for me on this or point me in the right direction?

Thanks for reassuring me. I'll sleep easier - and not have to resort to drastic measures to be rid of him! No one on the link to the Picture ID's?

here are some hitchhiking crabs......but he doesnt have them all labeled. Hes a pretty friendly guy...email him a pic and he would probably be glad to advise if you were really curious
