Crab Man

[Colin]

So I wasa looking through my tank after I added a Torch Coral and I noticed a crab that I didnt buy. Hes white with brown stripes, black claws with an orange dot on the wrist equivalent. HIs arms are white with brown or black dots does anyone have any idea what he is? I'll take a picture if I see him again.

yeah for the most part. I dont think he has hair on him though. If he is that kind is he ok in my tank? Im going to try and catch him either way but it would be nice to know.

Sounds like a gorilla crab... black pointy claws. You'll want to take him out if thats what it is.

Ive seen Gorilla crabs and the one I have just doesnt look the same he has rounded claws hairless except the back legs and is way more aggressive with my clown and inverts.

That's exactly why you want to take him out before you start losing expensive inverts
