    Saw this little guy in an iso tank in the LFS yesterday and offered the owner a shot at ID'ing the little guy through the many knowledgeable folks here on 3reef!

    Hopefully someone can recognize this one . . .

    TIA!

    also known as gorilla crabs, not reef safe, so either banish to the sump or get rid of it IMO
