Any idea what this crab is?

[Sue.K]

I recently bought rocks from TBS in July of this year, and this wee crab has just this morning, made himself known. Any ideas what he is?

Thanks for any ideas.

I have no answer, but I'd like to hitch a ride to find the answer with you.

Positive ID would likely need some better shots of the claws, face and whatnot, but I'd say odss hogh that it is not a reef safe crab.

But of course it’s disappeared already, but out of searching high and low for what lives in Tampa Bay, my suspicion is a stone crab-also not reef safe, if it is.
