white hairy crab?

Did some aquascaping this weekend and was looking through the tank today and saw three white fuzzy legs sticking from under a rock. Lifted the rock and a white hairy spider like crab? it skittered back under another rock. Didn't get a picture. It had to be at least an inch across and I never put it in the tank intentionally.

Anybody have an idea what it is. looked like a teddy bear crab pic on the web but couldn't find any more info.

Thanks

Tom

As a general rule, "Hairy = Aggressive". However, this is just a generalization.

Have you tipped a glass filled with meaty foods against the rockwork prior to turning out the lights?

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~
