HI sorry I don't have a picture of this crab . It appears to be shaped like an emerald crab but has a fury body and is black in color . Good or bad for a reef tank thanks Dave

Is that including acro crab, I do have a little black and furry that stays in the acro. all furry crab bad ?
Thanks

[stlouisguy]

Take a good look at that coral he stays in. I bet there are no polyps on the inside of the coral and he is dining on it

[Davo95]

He is now in the sump. He was on an acro though - Acro seems to be fine.

Thanks everyone!

I also have 2 pink crabs in the bird net coral, I was told that acro crabs are good keeping the acro clean protect it from coral eating pests

Smooth, black ones with red eyes are bad too. Mine got phenomenally huge and was really good at hiding.

The good ones look like little bandits with black masks on. They are still furry looking though.
