Acro crab

I noticed an acro cab recently and im wondering if it is good or bad. Its browninsh and doesnt have black eyes and it looks somewhat fuzzy. It is really hard to describe it well because it is the size of the end of a pencil eraser. There is no way that I can get a decent pic of him.

I have a hairy one, he picks the floating algae that settles in between the branches. I havent really noticed any harm done to my coral.

The fuzzy crabs many times can eat polypsoff the acro. I would remove it.

i had a hairy one for a while that i caught eating polyps after he jumped colonies. i felt bad when i stuck him with a skewer but i didn't want him eating anymore polyps.
