fuzzy crab

[stickx911]

As I was glancing into my tank, I realized I have a fuzzy crab. I have a trap, but how worried for my livestock should I be. on a scale of 1-10; 1 being not important and 10 being tear it apart and FREAK OUT!

oh, its about the size of a dime or a bit larger.

Thanks

no, he was tanish, but blended in with the rockwork well. I did not notice black tips on his claws or bands. Maybe light spots

sounds like some sort of mithrax crab. at that size, I wouldn't worry at all.

Looks like a tedy bear crab, don't let the name fool ya if they get bid enough they can eat fish. I would try to get him out.

That's my next step, you got any good websites you like to use?

I just barely got a glimpse of him today. this is the first I saw him, I reached down to get something to get him out, looked up and he was gone.

I came home this morning to notice my little 6-line was dead and was missing a chunk of flesh out of his side. Could this have been due to this crab?
