He came in on a rock i got a long time ago. Could not find him for a long time. Then moved 1 thing today, and there he was. So now asking the question on him. Thanks.

Nothing with that big a claw is going to be fish-safe, particularly as he grows. He'll be great in a sump/fuge.

if he has black pointy claws = sump

if the claws are more rounded then safe.
