I just got a sea hare and he disappeared. Then I found this guy. Any chance he off the poor guy?

I honestly don't feel a crab would snack on a sea hare and they are notorious for just disappearing.

That doesn't mean I think the crab is harmless. I would remove him.

Is it hairy or does the pic make it seem so? Hairy crabs are bad.

I pulled one of these guys out of my nano not too long ago and they look the same. Definitely looks like a stone or gorilla crab to me but I'm no expert. If it has black tips on its claws you should keep it out of your tank imo.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
