The crab doesn't look like an evil one..... Notice his claws are flattened on the end, looks a little like a mithrix type crab.

I have only ever seen him munching coralline, he might be 1/2" if that.

thats what i was thinking, the little bulb on the end of his claws look very similar to an emerald crab.

Well I had this emerald crab that went bad once he grew up and tried to eat all the other crabs in the tank including the hermits. I did not see it try to grab any fish but I was not taking any chances so I took him back to the LFS.

This guy is very small, Iam lucky i was able to catch him the first time.

It will be a while until he is anywhere big enough to cause any problems.
