Can anyone help identifying this?

Claws is the key on this crab, although the back and legs are consistent with being a Mithrax. That's not to say "reef safe", ad I've had more than my share of emerald crabs that ate corals, but "reef safe with caution" probably applies.

Try to get a shot of the claws if you can.
 
This is a gorilla crab. Black tips on the claws is the dead give away.

Hairy crabs rarely good. May be a palacid crab, part of the xanthid group and not good
