Hairy crab

[toddius]

Hope this image works. This is hairy crab he is the only one of his kind in my tank and has been there for 3 months now. Does anyone have any idea what hairys hair is? Is it aptasia. I do not know as hairy is the only thing in the tank with this on it. He does not switch shells, I guess he likes it. I was just wndering what it was since he's been this way for some time. Thanks for everyones help. I'll try the photo if again if it does not turn out.
