Crab Hitchiker Id please?

[ianjirka]

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!

gorillia crab get it out , it will eat fish if it catchs them . i kept 1 for a few years hand fed it and it left fish alone because i kept it well fed on a daily basis.

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.

keep it in your sump. It will be happy enough down there, and will help clean up the gunk that inevitably collects there.

I agree with the above and especially this one.
