itty bitty crab

It's probably to early to get an identification on a crab I just saw but I'll give it a shot anyways. It was tiny, like the size of my pinky nail or a half cm. It was white/beige and fuzzy. It's body was similar to a sand crab that you would see at the beach. I couldn't get a picture and I only saw it for a second. Any ideas???? If not I'll just have to play the waiting game.

Fuzzy, might be a decorator crab. Does it have rocks or shells or part of your substrate on it? Those are nocturnal feeders. See if you can use a red light at noght to see it....

I'll have to see if I can find a red light. What exactly doe the red light do.

Red light doesn't scare away the night time folks. You can see a lot more because it does not look like sunlight to them....
