Crab ID
Found this guy hitchhiking in on some live rock:
  Any ideas? He's in the DT as I don't have my refugium up and running yet... probably a bad idea, but I just couldn't do him in (so much for my crab free zone... added some hermits as well because I couldn't bring myself to croak them... IPSF sent them even though I said don't and it seems I'm just a big softy at heart :sigh: I'm sure that someday I will wish I had smashed him with a hammer  )

I'm currently ruggling to cath two hitchhiking crabs tht came on some rocks. Can't tell if he's a bad one or not however I tend to consider it this way: nothing with such big claws can be good.
Even hermits can sometimes be bad on some euphilias or snails.... I decided long ago not to have any crabs anymore in my tanks so one I catch those two they go straight to the the sump.
