Anyone have pictures of furry crabs. I want to get an id on one that I just caught in a zoanthid colony. He is about 1", is a yellowish brown color and has hair/fur over every part of his body. I don't think he is a gorilla crab because he has very tiny claws that are the same color as his body (Gorilla's have black I think). I'll try to get a clear picture of him later tonight.

Found a picture of a crab that looks almost identical to this guy except color (other pic the crab was covered in mud). I think he is called Pilumnus vespertilio or is also called the Common hairy crab or the Teddy-bear crab. Site said he eats seaweeds and zoanthids. He now resides in my refugium.
