Can anyone help me identify this Crab. It was a stray off of a piece of coral that I bought.  It looks pretty mean to me so I am not sure if I dare put it in my reef. Any input will be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Todd Defa

After more research on the web. I believe that it might be a Porcelain Crab.

Is it an acro crab? If so I would leave it in the coral. I purchased an acro that had an acro crab in it and it leaves the main coral during the night and ventures to my other SPS and I have noticed a huge increase in growth in the corals that it visits.

That is what it must be. Thanks for your help. I put it in my tank. We'll see if it finds its way back to the coral.
 
Thanks again.
