Help to ID crab

This guy came in on a shipment of corals on a acro colony. Is he safe to put in tank?

He's about the size of a dime and was in a tenuis colony. Does not have blue eyes but it does seem like the tips of his claws may be black. We've scoured google and lots of other resources but, can't find an exact match. So, is this an acro crab or an acro eating crab?? Lol!! We'd be stoked if he's an acro crab; just want some other opinions!! Thanks in advance!!

If it is already the size of a dime,then it is probably not a Acro crab.It looks very similar to my Xanthid crab,which also came in on a acro.I think the general consensus is that they are "bad".Here is the awesome link I found

Great post, kind of looks like the smooth spooner crab from the link that you just posted.

Thanks! I agree,it has similar markings on the top.It may even have the little "spoons" on it's claws.
