from what i can tell its a gorilla crab (if its hairy thats what it is). Remove it ASAP, they are bad

It is very hairy. I will try to get him out.

I agree with reefKeeper, it looks like a gorilla crab. Very bad for polyped coral and small fish. One of those guys took out an entire colony of zo's in one night. He just plucked them right off the rock. Remove ASAP if you can.
