Need crab ID!

[spreston]

I just pulled two redish/pink small crabs out of the new pink stylaphora I purchased last week. I didn't even notice them until tonight, they blended in and were the same color as the coral. They were maybe 1/2" to 3/4" in size. I didn't think to grab the camera. I threw them in the refugium for now. What do you think good or bad?

Impossible to say without a picture, but I am willing to be you should return them to their rightful home.

I hope you mean the LFS. I might be paranoid, but now that I'm looking it seems like some of my zoa's are gone. I do have a emerald crab in the tank and they are very similiar to him in shape and size, might be a type of mithrax crab as well. To be safe I will catch them out of the fuge when I have a chance and take them back.

by what i read if they have dark tipped claw's then ==bad so you might check that
