High all,
new to the board. Anyway got some LR from lfs. There is this crab hichhicker. I will try to explain what he looks like. I tried that at lfs and they gave me your web site. They said it may be tarantula crab. Anyway its about 2 1/2 to 3 inches wide and looks like fur all over and black claws. Will he be alright in FOLR tank. Thanks

From what I've read, usually hairy crabs are bad guys. If you have a refugium, just put him in there till you figure out if he's good or bad.
