any idea on what crab this is?

[hellssephiroth]

heres a pic of him. he is huge like an old silver dollar size. he has hair all over him if you cant see it on the pictures. ive had him forever and just keeps getting bigger and bigger. doesnt seem to hurt corals though, although he has one on his back lol. Any ideas or info would be awesome, thanks.

My best guess (!): Clibanarius vittatus

How funny !!!! I don't know crabs, but he is hilarious...he looks so, benign somehow...I would keep him also. Never knew a "sweet crab" before.lol

im thinking thats what it is, i looked up pics on it and it does look like him in some of the pictures and someone said theirs was like 3.5" it doesnt look like its easy to find information on it though

Yes, it's C. vittatus. They get to about the size of a tennis ball and are very destructive as they get larger.
