Found this crab molt. Any ideas if friend or foe?
(about an 1” large, bright red carapace, fuzzy legs) EE6356BB-10FF-40BF-BEF4-46A5D967B84E.jpeg thank you.
 
Can catch and kill fish, and few other invertebrates in the tank. (If it's the one I'm talking about)
If you can post photos under white light will be better for the ID
 
Maybe, just googled gorilla crab...the top is very bright red, but claws not like strawberry crab.
I’ll look for molt now with white lights on.
Drop some photos under the white Please.
 
Looks similar to some Acro crabs I had in one of my tanks, orange, fuzzy, with black spots and claws, small black spots on its shell. It wasn’t a gorilla crab, never harmed the coral and only grow to about an inch.

Hopefully it’s an acro crab!
Looking at tons of crab photos is creeping me out, hahaha.
 
and like I see searching for it, if it's acro crab and it's that hayri, isn't good one (all similar are reported as bad)
