ID on two crabs

[Demonic]

Got some beautiful rock in from KP Aquatics and lots of hitchhikers. I've never been much of a crab guy but hate to toss something that could be fun to watch. Can anyone identify these guys

Look up
RED MITHRAX CRAB (MITHRAX SCULPTUS)

White one looks like a gorilla crab. Pest. Red one looks like a red mithrax. Reef safe.

Ha. Expert may be a stretch! But glad to help.

I have two of those white crabs from KPA. They haven’t grown in the last year so I don’t think a gorilla crab. They haven’t hurt anything so far either but HOW did you catch it?! I’ve tried and mine are very crafty and fast

Never got in the tank. Picked through the rock before I put it in the tank
