[Guacamole]

I Hope there is enough detail to identify this little guy. I was very surprised to see it walking around my rock once the lights went out =) Thanks for any help

same guy, different angle (from the front i believe)

Thanks!!

That looks uncomfortably like a sea spider. Check out the ID list in the newbie forum.

wierdthe first pic is too blurry to tell the second looks like a shrimp head lol. Can you get it out and take a better pic? If you are unsure you should get it out anyway

 

[Travis L. Stevens]

It almost looks like a Saron Shrimp, but I would definitely get him out of there and take really good pictures.

Yes it is very strange indeed, it does have what looks like a shrimp head, but its body is laid out, and walks more like a crab. To be honest i am totally freaked out to even put my hand in the tank LMAO!. ill attempt to get more pics for you guys. Thanks for the responses.

Catch it and sell it to the LFS as a rare species of a Polynesian of crab.

*shudder* not sure what it is, but it does NOT look reef-safe. I believe sea spiders have 8 legs, this appears to have 10. I'd guess it's some kind of crab, it might be a good idea to post the pics in the invert forum and see if one of the experts there can ID it.

Looks like a small specimen of one of the "spider decorator crab" species to me.

Looks like an arrow crab to me too.

KDodds you are a friggen genius (IMO) lol, i am almost certain it is a "Naxioides" crab. when i did a seach on the decorator crab, i found this lil bugger. THere is even a littel peice of what looks like macro algae connected to one of its antenae (SP). Thansk for all the help, no i just need to figgure out if it can stay in th ol' tank.
