I know there is a section for hitchhikers- I read all of it- I think. Anyway- I need to know if anyone can help me figure out this crab that must have come with our live rock- and why it hasn't died!!! EVERY SINGLE crab we have purchased has died within a month or so. We have a starfish( a chocolate chip- and he is very non-aggressive, just eats scum and stuff contrary to what everyone else has experienced.), hermit crabs, lots of anemones, a few clowns, a goby, and a handful of snails, a damsel, lots of fan worms including a giant one- but I cannot keep a crab alive to save my life!!! So we bought this hunk of live rock about 7 months ago- and my husband keeps telling me there is this fuzzy white crab that comes out every now and then. Says he's seen it 3 times. I keep thinking he's nuts. Finally, last week I see it. It is about the size of a dime. It is pure white, and completely hairy. Hairy legs and body. Pure white. It looks fake. What is it??? And why has it survived this long when none of the crabs I buy ever live?(excluding hermit crabs) I cannot find anything on the net about this crab- the closest thing I saw was a Yeti Crab. But it still does not look totally like one of those. Also- there are these little green see through bubbles appearing all over the place. They sit on the rocks and do nothing but get bigger. There's always about 10 or 12. Kinda look like eggs, but this one has been in there for about 9 months. Bad- good? Help!!
