can anyone identify this crab?

I have seen this crab twice although I guess it's been there for a while. It is about 1-1 1/2". I first saw it when it was trying to move a flower anenome up under the rocks. I can't seem to find anything anywhere that describes it.

Any crab with hairy legs you do not want in your tank.

Can eat coral. If you have a fish only system it's not a huge deal unless it can catch your fish.

Look here under "Various Other Xanthid Species"

Looks like it might be a Gorilla Crab, which is not good for corals. Do you have a better pic?

Thanks to all of you for the help. Unfortunately that's the only picture I have. The link to the Xanthid crabs seems to have the right answer.
