Found this hairy crab in my pink birdsnest. Any idea if it's good or bad?? Thanks.

Better pics would help, but hairy crabs are usually bad. Gorilla?
If it has very long, thin claws, though, it's a hairy squat lobster and totally harmless. If not, I suggest you remove it and put it in a refugium or such.

HI!! i know that this probably has nothing to do with this question but i am new to this cite and i do not know were the new thread button is hor how to post a new thread.:fun5: and i went to the faq and all it said was " to post a new thread click on the new thread button" BUT I CANT FIND IT!!:debi: and just to answer your question because i know i was rude to just ask this out of the blue. i think you should post a picture so me or somebody else knows the species of crab :thumbsup: THANKS!! :lmao:

If you still can't find it might want to PM a mod reporting a technical issue.

(Sorry for making the thread wider..)


Anyway... I don't see the crab you're going to need better footage.. however do some searches on acro crabs as they are very common hitchhikers in SPS corals (Got one myself)
