Can you get us a clearer pic, looks like it could be a porcelain anemone crab but it's hard to tell if it is it's good

Actually looks more like a box crab. Do you have any coral or anemones in your aquarium?

 

[pyly220]

No all I have is live rocks and dead corals. Is he bad for the tank I am planing to add more stuff like fish ect

 

[pyly220]

I am going to see if he comes out again and I will take another picture

The main thing with them is they renovate. I had one in a FOWLR tank, and it redecorated every. Just depends on the species and size.

Sorry I was thinking it was hairy but no here are the new pics

Xanthid crab. Not reef safe, but fine for a fish tank.
