It is called a florida calico box crab (hepatus epheliticus). I think it may be safe. It an omnivore. And I do have small community fish in my tank. Anyone head any experience with this crab before I put it in my 75 gal reef tank? My son caught it in Sanibel Fl. I attached a foot of it...

Cool Crab! I wouldn't put him in my reef tank but that doesn't mean you can't!
 
They have them at a store near me. From what i know of, they are reef safe, however, all they will do to coral is try stealing their food. But thats about all

the 2 reviews on reefs2go sound like they are fun crabs. They are definitely cool looking.
