Pic is a little too fuzzy for me to tell, but I'm guessing teddy crab due to the furry appearance.

i took atleast 20 pictures thats the clearest one. my phone cant seem to focus with micro bubbles flowing around the water...

Long shot but maybe a decorator crab.looks more like a teddy. What ever it is it's a cool little guy

looked up decorator crabs and it definitely is not one of those, i also looked up teddy bear crabs and on google imaged the first like 100 photos look nothing like it but later on if you keep scrolling i see some that look somewhat similar but even then idk if its actually a teddy bear crab in some of those photos.

Hmm, are they sharp or rounded tip? To be on the safe side you should put it in the sump.

It's still at the lfs we separated it into one of the fish only tanks he is in there with a coral banded shrimp and a yellow watchman and hasnt caused any trouble.

I dont know if the claws are pointed or rounded I want to say rounded but I am not there to take a look.
