This little fella was a hitch hiker on my corals. I just got the corals today, I wasn't sure if this guy is safe or not. Here is a pic of him. He is very small.

Its very small, but I was looking at it a while now, the claws are white. But I can't tell if the claws are pointy, its just too small. Ill still keep trying to find out if its claws are pointy. Its very hairy too.

is it slow moving or a fast swimmer?
Almost looks like a decorator crab that's been living in live rock.

Ok, I was looking at it very closely It had white claws, and the claws are pointy, it is hairy, it is NOT a zoo eating spider, but it did come on the zoas. I'm not sure on how fast it moves.

The color of the crab is gray. Its whole body and legs are hairy except the claws and some parts of the legs.

What do you think?
