Gorilla Crab?

Found this little guy on a frag I got today





I have it in a bowl right now thinking the sump is a good place for it.

 

I have no idea what type of crab it is, but I would say the sump sounds like an excellent idea.

 

I double that and raise you a +1

 

Hmmm... I think it's either a crab from the Mithraculus genus or is related to them. Therefore since it also has rounded off algae picking claws (safe or not safe general rule of thumb) I deem him safe, but in the end it's your decision...

 

i say sump he goes. He isnt a gorilla crab but not sure!

 

Thanks everyone. I don't have a lot of coral but I like what I have and don't want to lose any, so, he has been banished to the sump where he can live a happy and nondestructive life.

 

it's shaped exactly like an emerald crab.....but you made a good decision, if in doubt, and you have a sump....problem solved

 

emerald crab, but i agree sump him with some algae sheets
