It's twice as big as it was last week - I get to see it more often now.
Do I need to worry or just love it...

I have quite a few that came in on live rock. They are beneficial. Very fast little suckers too!

I dunno why but their little faces remind me of giraffes or something.

Stomatellas are great to have. They munch on doatoms all night and typically disappear in the morning.
It is safe with your Porcelain crab, they are mostly filter feeders.
