Surprised at Emerald Crab size

My Emerald Crab sure has grown. How big can they get?
I'm getting a bit concerned he may take a fish or something...

males will get about 3-4" across claw to claw. its vary rare they will go after a live fish. but if a small gets close you never know. i feed my emeralds some algae strip about 2 times a week. maybe a 2 inch square. keeps them from "hunting" as much. i havent had any problems with the eating fish, or corals.
