Gorilla crab?

[avshockey311]

For those of you that are familiar with gorilla crabs, can you take a look at my thread and pics to tell me if you think it is a gorilla crab? Personally, I don't think that it is...it doesn't have to big black claws that I have heard they have. I have had it for several months and nothing has happened to fish, inverts, or corals. Any information is appreciated! Thanks!

It is very hard to tell from your pics. Gorilla crabs will be hairy all over, the legs and the carapace.

his legs and body are both hairy.

yeah, I can tell you from even the blurry shots it's a gorilla.. hairy little ()*&$@#ers with black tips on their pointy little claws. Yeah, it's a gorilla... be careful, if you've ever been a rage-a-holic, these things will send you reaching for the happy pills in short order. There have been many a night I've wondered just how to get that last sucker outta my tank. Find it, kill it (or relocate it) but believe me, get it out of the tank.
