Crab ID

Hoping someone can give me an idea what kind of crab this is and if I need to try to move it to my refugium.

Pointy claws and hairy legs sump it until you can prove it reef safe don't wait.

I agree to sump it to be safe until further observation can occur. It’s hard to tell in both photos what exactly it is. Hairy legs could be a juvenil gorilla crab however its body does not look like one. It’s white claws are also throwing me off however they are pointy. Typically pointy claws = meat eater. I don’t believe it’s in the Mithrax family since it doesn’t have “spoon” tipped claws.

If you get a chance for better pictures under white lights that would help more!

It came in on TBS live rock if that makes a difference. I’ll try to get a better photo in the morning. I scared it into the rocks for now trying to catch it. Would definitely take any advice on scooping it out as well.
