That said I have two smaller red eyed, pointy black clawed crabs(Xanthid) that I'm sure does some damage but I leave in my tank as part of the CUC and I think they look neat.

Crabs are a personal thing.
Just because it has blunted flat tips on it's claws doesn't mean it's a relatively peaceful herbivore/scavenger like an emerald. Many Mithrax get large and predatory, like the one in Jason's tank. Be cautious!!
