Thanks!

I cant see him very good, but he looks like just an Emerald Green or a Spider Decorator crab to me. Does he have a shell or is that just his body?
 
the overall shape resembles an emerald crab or similar, yet the markings look kinda like a sally-lightfoot crab.

I'm :confused:
 
Yeah I'm not sure either. If you weren't planning on doing inverts you can just give it back to the store. Otherwise, free crab!
 
It looks very hairy, I my self have a few of the same looking hitch hikers, my LFS told me they were gorilla crab? And told me to get them out!ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1405548237.350978.jpg

They can be both, crabs can and will eat what ever they can catch. I personally am not a fan of pretty much any crab, but others feel different.
 
Hmmm good to know, thank you!
