Please Identify this Crab
This guy was a hitch hiker from an order of live rock I recieved some time ago. I think it may be an Emerald Crab but he is black not green. What do you think?

Ditto on the larger pic suggestion. On immediate blurry inspection, it doesn't look like an Emerald Crab to ME.

Its back legs are hairy and its pinchers seem to have little cups at the ends and do not apprear sharp. However the inside of the pinchers seem to have gripping ridges.
Hope this new picture helps. Will

Looks like a Xanthid Crab. Not reef safe.
