Found this guy on an acro. Wondering if anyone can ID him as a reef safe or coral killing species.

Harlequin shrimp will not get his weekly CC leg for a week or two after he finishes demolishing his sand sifter. I want to know if I can wait those two weeks, or if its time to go hunting for these buggers at night.

It is doubtful anyone can give you a definitive ID as there are hundreds of different types. If you're concerned remove it is my best advice.
