Crab Hitchiker Id please?

This guy came along with some live rock -- he's isolated in my sump right now. Does anyone know what kind it is? I couldn't get a good match on the reef hitchikers guide, but I'm sure I saw a pic of it before. Tan, hairy, about 2" across.

Thanks!

Thanks, I think you're right. I passed over the Id earlier because the pics I had didn't look close enough, but after reading a few descriptions from other reefers, sounds about right. He can't run amok in the sump section I have him in now, will see if I can find somebody local that wants one.

Also another name teddy bear I had one in my betta 680 it will eat any think it can catches like ihavtata said get it out ASAP.....
 
keep it in your sump. It will be happy enough down there, and will help clean up the gunk that inevitably collects there.
