I have just found a white crab in an Acropora that I have purchased.
Could anybody give me information on the critter?

acros sometimes have little crab guests, and if the acro looks good now, leave the crab there. The crab has probably been there for a while. It will survive on bits and pieces that float into the acro's branches and will keep it clean.

I agree with carpenter. Some say the hairy legged crabs are a problem but I 've never had any problems with these crabs in coral heads. They seem to have a mutually beneficial relationship......
