i just got a new acro today and i found what looks like a green clown goby and a fuzzy acro crab. the clown goby is only about 1/4=1/2". the acro crab is what im worried about. all my other acro crabs are smooth just wondering because it seems that any fuzzy crab in salt water ='s bad. lmk tia

Fuzzy is BAD!!!

This is what they grow up to be!! I caught this sucker a couple months ago and banished him to my sump. I do not know how long he was in my tank. But I decided to set up a crab trap after my Chromis was killed.

If its brown w/ hairy legs its the bad one. Watch him hes probably eating the coral tissue. Try to pull him or flick him out. You can also try to lead him to a spot where you can grab him easily. This can be a bit of a chore.
 
I've found 3 fuzzy legged crabs in my tank yesterday. I'm not sure how to get them out, so far all I've seen them do is eat detrius off rocks...
 
this crab is fuzzy all over not just on the legs. body claws legs the whole thing. im kinda thinking it migh be a baby gorilla crab.
