Is this an Acro crab???

Wait...a pair? As in...acro crab love? I have two in a birdsnest colony. One is MUCH smaller than the other. I was wondering if they would fight, etc.

I figure that they must be enjoy each other's company because the crabs won't tolerate anything/anyone else coming near their piece of coral.

Here's a picture of the two of them:

Very cool is there different kinds or is it just one species??
What do they eat? it seems to stay where it is.

So turns out there was two of them but one ate about half of my SPS (on the one piece).
He/She is now in my refugium in a pop bottle.
Will my coral grow back its skin its mostly gone on the bottom?
BAD CRAB
