i found a crab in my new acro

[chrischris]

i can get a pic because 1 its really small and 2 it's right in the middle of the colony and there are branches covering it but its a gray,brow,green color and its covered in little bumps and for all it does have pointed claws any help would be great

probably a commensal crab. we have one in an acro as well. They are good.

are those the only crabs that protect corals? because it doesnt look like those

[jamessp01]

no sure, the one I have looks like the ones in the pictures.

you can look these over, I think the fourth row are coral crabs, but prehaps not the good kind.
