new critter

[leaffish75]

I was looking at my false ric and trying to count how many i now have (25) I saw a small crab. I only have hermits and one green emarld. this one looked sort of hairy so i freaked. After watching it i saw it was only eating alage. I couldnt really see it well only its legs and claw. should i worry or not? I saw it eating some left over HA.

I'd keep an eye out for it, but until you can get a better look there isn't much you can really do. Many crabs have legs that look hairy, and they're totally reef safe. If the carapace, or body is hairy then it's probably an unwanted variety.
