Common Crab Hitchhikers

[TheReefer12]

What are some common crab hitchhikers? I have one about the size of half a penny which is double the size of when I first saw him. I tried to get a pic but too small for that.

here are a couple sites you can dig through to figure out if your crab matches up, its really hard to properly id a crap, but in general, large pointy claws are bad, and hairy usually is bad as well.

They like to snack on snails, ime. And (to me, anyway) they are so common in new LR. I wonder if the one you are seeing is a different one than the one you saw before.
