Help ID Crab

I just got my Pico tank package from Tampa Bay saltwater, and I’m trying to figure out if this little crab is reef safe?

Really hard to tell from the size. Put it in the sump.and let it grow a little bit?

The claws not being black tipped is a good sign though.

Pointy claws are typically bad. Look up and emerald crabs claws.

I think I figured it out. It is a pea crab. He will live in the sump.

I got the same hitch hiker but mine sadly died. Keep me updated if it survives in your sump!

Mud crab, best in the sump.

No, it's definitely a pea crab
