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.

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