Crab ID required....

First time ever seeing this guy yesterday. I apologize in advance for the poor picture quality, but I had my phone on me so I snapped a quick picture.

Horrible pic...Have a better one for a good ID??

Maybe one day. I haven't added any live rock for over a year and this is the first time I've seen this crab. I'll keep my eye out and my camera handy so hopefully I can get a better pic.

Only guess from this pic is the hairy spider crab - Achaeus japonicus

Ugly bastard. Hopefully I can capture it and ban it to the sumptuous!

Sometimes they are called Teddy Bear Crabs too.

OK, FINALLY got a better pic of this damn thing. It's like getting a picture of bigfoot. Everyone is blurry and hard to distinguish. These will hopefully be good enough for a ID.

No clue what that is but I think he's cool looking! I'd keep him in the display if he's not harmful. Just IMO.
