small crab in acros

[SNAKEMANVET]

I notice a very small crab,it is light brown and fuzzy and also has black on the tips of the claws.It seems to be eating the acro itself.Should I remove it will be ok.The acro has been in my tank for a month now and looks good.Legs and all it is about the size of a pencil eraser.

Generally, if they are hairy and have black tips = bad. I'd get rid of it, especially if you have already seen it eating your SPS.

Get it out, I had one on one of my acros, it's a acro eating crab. He now lives in my sump and is the size of a nickel now.
