Please help id

[nazarma]

Hello,

Have this small crab on my sps, can someone please help id? Good, bad?

Too hard to see it. If you can get the crab out until you get a ID I would. All I see is what looks like part of a black claw.

This guys has almost clear claws alien looking black eyes.

I will try to get him out asap

I see it now. He blends in well. Im not sure as the pic isnt clear. I would remove it if you can until you get a positive ID just to be safe.

I think you're safe. Is it a light tan color with a black stripe across the front of its face? Is it smooth looking or hairy? If it's smooth and matches the description above, it's safe. If it's hairy with large claws, place it somewhere out of your display tank.

If it looks like this, its safe and can even help protect the sps its hosting.
