is a type of porcillin crab (related to the anemone-crabs). They are harmless to coral and fish and feed by sieving the water with their mouth-parts. Quite beautiful as they grow, some species go blue, others red.

Thanks, I had already put him back in the tank so it's good to hear I don't need to try catch him again

Acro crab for sure!

 

[Dr. Schell]

No, not acro crap, it is a pair of walking legs too short. 100% sure that it is a porcelain crab.
