yellow hairy crab

[rowdy]

Looking at my tank tonight and noticed a yellow hairy crab in my live rock. Tried to take a picture but couldn't get a good angle. There seemed to be spots on the body of it and it's pinchers looked sharp.

Looked up gorilla crab and that's excatly what it looks like. Are they harmful to other crabs (hermit crabs)? I'm thinking about cathcing it and putting it in a FOWLR tank.

When they get big enough they will eat fish and I believe inverts as well. I had one before and had to remove him.
