my buddy and i were moving things around in my 120 gallon tank and he found this crab. It looked like it was camouflage to the live rock. he has purpleish redish color, and a few other colors.
If anybody thinks they know what it is please let me know thank you.

IMO, he's not a good crab. Usually, hairy body = no good. Especially true if you have SPS, as these will eat polyps. Mind you, that's generally speaking. There's always an exception. maybe someone will chime in with an ID.
