What type of Crab is this?

[Kiko Unson]

One of my family members got them for our tank and was one of the options recommended by the staff from our LFS. Though my family member never got the actual name of the variation of species of the tiny crab, and just said it had "sea" in its name which didn't really help on trying to find more info on it online.

No problem, another thing this crab is sometimes known to not be reef safe so I would watch out for that. Also welcome to r2r!

+1 on Sally lightfoot. The Sally Lightfoot Crab is considered to be a Reef Tank Safe Janitor as it does not bother corals but does a great job of eating Green Hair Algae, detritus and uneaten food.
