Looking for an ID on this little dude I found in a Millepora I picked up yesterday. Upon some searches of myself I think it may be a gorilla crab. Personally, I've never ran across one. I was really hoping that I scored a cool little Acro crab, but I dont think I got that lucky. He is under a cm in size and is a hairy little guy. Unfortunately these are the best photos I was able to get of the tiny little crab. You may be able to see him more clearly in the short video clip I got of him. Now I just have to figure out what to do with it.

Generally fuzzy means bad. If not the sump, puffer food sounds about right. You'll get a big smile from Mr. Puffer

That's kinda what I figured. I'm fairly certain it was a gorilla crab. The trigger at the LFS enjoyed him.
