i have a small crab with red legs and claws i have not been able to get a clear view of it yet. It is smaller than a pincky nail leags and all. It either has antena like eyes or to small horns on it shell and that is the only body view i can get. It is living in a circle cluster of candycane coral. Does anybody know something about this crab. I know it is not much of a description but i really want to know if someone says get it out now because it is bad or just keep a eye on it

its legs and claws are red and white banded with the white being small bands

You could try looking at the crabs they sell on this site to see if you can find it. It could be a Zebra Hermit crab, which is a good crab to have because it's a cleaner crab... eats algae and uneaten food. It is hard to tell though without a picture of yours. I guess if I where you, I would click on "Inverts" on the top left section of the screen to compare yours to theirs just to be sure. Sorry I am not much help!
