Just got my first hitchhiker and I think he’s a dirty acro eating crab. He’s been removed and banished to the sump until identified. I think the tissue looks a little picked at above him in the photo, which is where I found him.

Thank you! I know he’s not a porcelain crab, too many legs. The black tips on his pinchers also is a red flag to me.

Me too, pointed claws are usually a bad sign as well! Well, let the little guy live its life in the sump! Lol

At least he has some company, a few banished clumsy snails are down there with him.
