Crab ID help......

[Bigmike143]

This came with my like rock on my new 5 gallon reef tank, is it OK to keep or get rid of and if so how do I get rid of it..... miniature trap....lol. I also have a few other very tiny fury little spider looking crabs they blend in with the live rock. What do I need to do?

Sorta has the look of a boxer crab but hard to tell.

Furry crabs are probably gorilla crabs, who will get huge and make a mess. That guy looks like possibly a pom-pom crab? They're small and fairly harmless.
Put a couple small bottle traps in and photograph any crabs you catch before doing anything with them.
What's your planned stock?

I was thinking pom-pom crab as well, but the pic is to blurry to tell.

+1 to pom pom crab. Easily identifiable with a slightly better picture. If it is I'd keep it. They're really cool and one of the few crabs I'll keep in my tank.
