If "hairy" and has "pinchers"....get out of tank asap and make freezer its new home.

Have fun catching him!
Or take it to the LFS and watch the triggers make a meal of him.

So... this Urchin crab or also known as Zebra crab is bad news? the little buzzard is hiding some where deep in my many # of live rock and have not seem him since.

I'll try and take a photo today when I get off from working for the Man. . .

Its a shame the colorful ones almost always bring issues...

I don't think urchin crabs are harmful a buddy of mine bought one and a tuxedo urchin and now it rids around on the urchins back all the time. Hasn't hurt anything....

Pretty small though..
