Please help identify crab

[HerbertKlopf]

Hello, I just found a crab in my tank after introducing a piece of live rock with some corals on it this morning. I took him out though and don’t know if I should keep him or what? Never had a crab in my close proximity before. Can someone please identify this little guy. Thanks

Howdy and welcome

Keep an eye on it. From my understanding there are two varieties of emerald green crabs - one of them eats some corals when they get hungry.

On the plus side, great buble algae eaters!

Thanks for the heads up. If he decides to munch on my corals to keep himself alive, so be it. I would do the same
