Hello everyone,

My name is Blake, but i go by Ramathorn, I'm very new to the hobby, only had my tank up for about a month and a half now.

I currently own a 26 gallon Bowfront, with some live rock, 2 percula clowns, 2 blue/green chromis, and 1 small zoanthid frag... i will go into this in more detail in a different post... but the main reason for this post is to try to identify a hitchhiker i found tonight in my tank. I know it's some sort of crab, but i also know that there are good crabs, and not so good crabs when it comes to a reef tank.

I exiled the little guy from my tank until i can find out exactly what it is, and wether or not i want it in my tank.

here are some photos (all of the same crab, just wanted to show a few so i could get the best guess possible)

just as a point of reference, the abdomen alone is about the same size as a pencil eraser, so whatever it is, it's definitely juvenile
