Any one seen this?

I pulled a rock to remove bubble algae and this dropped off. Any idea on what it is and if I should put it back? This likely came in with the KP Aquatics rock.

I'm less than sure, but I think it may be a small decorator crab?

Thanks that will give me a starting point for research

I was thinking the same thing as Ron. Normally, I would tend to toss things that I am unsure of but this guy is cool. Any chance you can have him in his own area and see what he develops into?

I could possibly do that. I have the tanks.

It appears to be this crab

I have a decorator crab in my 90g DT that I collected while snorkeling in the Florida Keys. So far (6 months) it's been a safe resident.

Ok I’m low on corals so I may put it back
