I found this crab on one of my sbb tenuis yesterday, I removed him and put in a cup of water but if he’s a acro crab I was going to re introduce him. I can tell he’s not a trapezia but maybe a cymo? He’s dark brown and with hairy legs and bluish white eyes. At this point I’m thinking gorilla.

I agree on it being a Gorilla crab. I had to snatch one out of my tank a month or so ago. It had round black tipped claws.
 
Xanthid crab which is gorilla crab family=- No good
