Some sort of Squat Lobster?

i found this http://www.bluezooaquatics.com/productDetail.asp?did=11&pid=18019&cid=354

but it has no relevant useful data

definately a squat of some sort. I think they're reef safe. very interesting and cute too imo.

 

[accordsirh22]

good to know, i might go ahead and throw this guy in my reef. this is the exact kind of obscure nifty inverts i have been seeking

Wait, but that picture looks awfully like the one in the link. Aren't Sally Lightfoots aggressive?

It's not a sally lightfoot, that's why they put it in quotes on the website.
As has been said before it's a harmless galatheid.

They also wrote next to scientific name, "Unidentified grapsid crab." Apparently, they have no idea what they are talking about on that site.

yea i knew it didnt look like a sally. but im not super knowledgeable on inverts, i googled grapsid crab and came up empty handed.

with that said, it seems this guy is totally harmless, so in he goes
