Hairy crab id

[Williamthegr88]

I had a hitch hicker on my lr here is a photo just wondering what it is and is it reef safe,?

I know it kind of looks like a emerald crab but it's really hairy

Better pic please. The better the pic, the better the ID.

Hairy generally means bad. I would get em out.

It's most likely it's a red mithrax crab. But I can't say for certain because the pic is blurry.

Try to get a pic of him in the QT if you can. I'd like to make sure before you flush him or anything. After all, KP aquatics sells a hairy emerald crab. Hairy =/= evil.
