I had 3 of those exact guys in my 90. To be honest I kind of liked them, they never bothered any of my snails and seemed to go after all sorts of detritus. They started out about 1cm across, and by the time I broke the tank down they were close to the size of the crab in the pic, one of them even started carrying around clutches of eggs!
I had more problems with hermit crabs eating snails

Crabs are opportunistic feeders and will sooner or later take out something of value. There is no such thing as a nice crab! Oh wait.........a dead crab is a nice crab. KILL IT!!!

It makes the idea of using dry rock that much more appealing than buying more expensive live rock. I wish they had dry rock around when I started up. I'm surprised people still buy live rock with all the benefits of dry rock.

I have a couple of these, even bigger than yours. They are monsters... They are grazers, as they have scraping claws, so I find mine reef safe, so I leave them alone.
