I got an awesome colony of Bushy Yellow acro today and there is this cool little crab living in there. He almost blends right in with th coral. He doesn't seem to be doing any harm to it or anything. Is he good or EVIL!?!

This is pretty much what he looks like:

The coral looks very similar to this one as well but mine is yellow with lime green polyps.

Thanks for the help!

Oh yeah !! That's an Acro crab and very good to have.
Funny thing is they live only w/ the coral--if it dies they do too.

That kind of acro crab is good. If they are hairy or have blue eyes they are bad for the coral.
