Hairy gorilla crab?

[Bluemonk]

Just saw this dude for.the first time today. Hes about a half inch in size. The coral.doesnt seem to be bothered by it. Just trying to figure out friend or foe.

I'd consider any gorilla crab a foe, but perhaps some individuals are worse than others. The first one I came across had eaten/killed several ricordea before we found it. They kept getting dragged into the shadows....

I cannot I.D. it, but black-tipped claws plus "hair" usually spell trouble for reef tanks.

Heres a better grasp of the size of this guy.
