Today I bought a zoas colony, and just discovered this tiny crab, I know pictures are not clear, he just eventually comes out a little bit and looks like he was feeding on hair algae.
Anyone know what is it?

If you can get a clearer picture, it would help.
Yeah, I really can't say without clearer pics of it - sorry. I will say, long limbs leading out to small claws like that is unusual for crabs, so is there a chance it could be a squat lobster (Galatheid)?

You know? Just had a look at a picture on google and it looks like. I hope it will come out at one point to make a clear picture
