im not sure if this picture is good enough, but its the best i could get, my husband just noticed this crab tonight...we didnt purchase him...and we have not boughten anything for our tank for a couple months now.. his pinchers are mostly a reddish/orange, with whitish tips. cant really tell on the boday color.. dark maroon maybe? legs are striped white, with the same color as body. im hoping he'll come out, so i can get a better idea of body color. we were thinking a type of mithrax crab?? so is he safe or not? thanks for the help!

OMG I have one just like it and could never get a pic! Great that you were able to. It has never bothered any fish or corals in my tank but I still try to get it out once and a while.
