Crab Identity

[Lena]

I have recently bought a mushroom coral and during the night a crab came out of the rock.

Its body is gray with a white stripe down the middle, its legs are gray and white striped and it seems to have quite large pincers in comparison to the rest of its body. It is currently 1cm in length.

Can anyone give me an idea what it might be, i have placed it into my breeding trap just in case it is a bad introduction.

I don't have a picture but if anyone can give me some names or ideas, i can look it up on the net.

Thanks Lena:)

Hey Lena. There are so many crabs out there, it is doubtful an identity can be reached even with a picture. One rule of thumb I use: if it has red eyes...it is most probably bad. If you do happen to get a picture, Dr. Ron might be able to identify it for you in his forum.
