I had a bunch or emerald crabs and noticed a baby crab living on a frogspawn coral.
After hand feeding him thinking he was a baby emerald crab I've never seen any harm to any corals, but recently the frogspawn has started looking in happy.
Could this actually be an acro crab or guerilla crab?

Definitely has pointy black claws. I also hear that spikey isn't good either but then it doesn't seem to have hairy legs.

They do not always get very hairy until they mature. The eyes are far apart and the claws black so I would not think it was friendly.

 
**Update**

Somehow I managed to pick him out without too much trouble. Seems like he does have hairy legs :/ will see how well the frogspawn does without him! Thanks for all the help guys
