Looks like a rock crab to me. I've had three of those and since I've managed to remove them the number of snails and hermits getting eaten has dropped almost to zero.

Although one of the beggars got a cone snail that had been hiding under the sand bed last night...

I have one of those. After our epic battle to get him out of the display it turned into a love hate relationship. Once in a while I open the door to the sump, he flips me the bird and disappears. I didn't have the heart to off it, lol.
