Sps with a crab good or?

[underwaterdan]

Is this a good thing or bad thing? I found this sps at lfs and I like it, not sure what it is, and it has a crab hosting in it.

Hard to tell from your pic but it looks like a gorilla crab to me which is BAD

But it's an easy fix just poke it with a needle

Yeah sorry about the pic. He's got blue dots which I've never seen before.... Actually looks like his eyes are blue

 

[jared graves]

Does it have bristles?

 

[underwaterdan]

Doesn't appear to.

 

[jared graves]

Does it have a hole in the sps?

 

[underwaterdan]

It's between branches, isn't eating into the sps. Or so it appears.

Then it's up to you if you want to see what happens I guess unless someone else can make a true ID. Good luck!

Looks like a bad one. The good ones are white or nice bright colors. And hairy or bumpy is usually a bad sign

Ok staying away! Thanks for the tips guys.

Def a bad guy, the blue eyes are a dead giveaway.
