Mystery Crab

Hey, Could you guys help me identify this little guy, I have never seen him before until late last night, he seems to not like light and is pretty fast I'm not 100% sure how he made it in my tank (either on live rock or in larval form) but if any one has info on him that'd be great
Thanx

Not sure but he looks like a bully to me. I'd spear 'em.

He's probably nickel sized I'll keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't muck with anything

It's an Atergatis floridus and you want it gone.
