Hitchhikers what in the heck are these?
Can anyone tell exactly what I have here. After 1.5 years of this reef up and running I just noticed two of these actually chilling out on a rock and breeding in my tank with the night-time LED's on. Looks like they have dug several holes out in my rocks. Should I never mind them, or get rid of them?? I have lots of soft corals and cleaner shrimp too, should I be worried? I couldnt find them on any crab identification sites. They appear to be approx 1-1/2" long give or take a few centemeters, whitish, hairy, and otherwise harmless, but who knows what they eat, and what harm they can do?

Looks like a hairy or gorilla crab. They are usually bad and should be banished to a sump
