Crab ID

Saw this crab a couple of days ago and was moving a rock today then I flipped it over and then there it was! Was hoping to find out what to do with it. I haven't noticed any corals or other inverts having any issues but I'm not wanting to take a chance. Thanks!

Looks like a Sally Lightfoot.

If it's Hairy get rid of it as it's most likely a Bad type of Crab!

That was pretty much the plan anyways. Thanks!

If it has black tips on its claws and is hairy, its most likely a gorilla crab. Not good! I caught one and took it to the critter to feed a trigger fish. Had to put it some good use

I have a gorilla crab in my sump, he likes to keep my Chaeto algae trimmed. :smile:
