Got this hitchhiker in a monti frag

[Mark-Stover]

I can't tell if this is a gorilla crab or an emerald. It's got green pincers but does have what looks like hair. Can anyone ID it?

Thanks!

Looks like an emerald crab to me. My emeralds have some hairy legs too.

definitely emerald crab without a doubt

What color are the tips of the pincers? What is the origin, is it a matriculated Montipora or a frag from a LFS maybe trying to get rid of algae?
I can’t be certain from the pics it is an emerald, but I have been wrong many times, just ask my wife

Looks like a smaller version of the emerald crabs in my tank

Tips are green. This came in a batch of coral from Top Shelf Aquatics. Thanks for taking a look!
