Hi!

I’m new to this forum and saltwater tanks so hello!

 

I just added some live rock to a tank from TBS, and found a crab in the bag. I captured him, but don’t know if he’s good or bad?

He is all white and seems fuzzy, but I can’t tell if he’s actually fuzzy or just covered in sandy stuff. He has black claws. 

I also found what I believe is a gorilla crab, and this guy looks a bit different in coloring.  Any help is super appreciated!

Not sure on the first one maybe when it matures and gets more distinct characteristics.

The second looks like a gorilla crab, but that seems to be a generic name for a few different species of crabs.
