[barnabus's gimp]

Hello I have a giant hairy crab, its white with copper tones and copper coloured hair. they said it fell in the sump and grew to be that size. I dont have a picture right now but does this sound familiar to anyone? its about the size of a tennisball.

It could be so many different crabs that we need a pic to help.

Looks like an emerald to me. One of mine has hairy legs and one doesn't.

its huge and it is perl white with copper hair, it also has black claws. I'm pretty sure its some sort of reef crab, i found a picture of one eating a blue starfish of some kind. I think its called a black finger reef crab, or xanthid crab.
