Yet another hitchhiker

[kayak385]

This is my teddybear crab hitchhiker. He came from the same rocks that my peanut worms, starfish, and q-tip sponges came from.

He has already molted twice, each time i thought i had dead crabs in my tank but aparently not, and now he comes out to play!
Let me know what you think!
Thanks

i think i have a crab like that...except he is darker brown or maroon he only comes out at night so i have to use a flash light to see it...but he has dark legs with white stipes

JUST DOUBLECHECKING....
that is a teddy bear crab right? From what i've seen yes, but i love second opinions...THANKS!

do a search for mythrax and gorilla crabs to double check this one. its a little blurry pic, but there are a couple good pics of the other two here.

well renogaw, it looks more like the gorilla to me. Bummer.
Is it ok to put the gorilla down in my sump that has my (fish eating) coral banded shrimp? Will they kill eachother? Should i just feed them enough to be fat and lazy?
