Crab Identification

[leighnorton]

Please can someone Identify this crab for me, Just bought a coral today from my LFS and it had the crab jammed underneath it.

Please see the pics below... I don't know whether to put this in my tank as I dont want it to kill / harrass anything in there already.

They look like emerald crabs to me...

It has the shape of an emerald crab but when u see it in the light its not green at all so I'm not sure if that's what it is.

xanthid crab? not sure if this is correct at all, but to my knowledge xanthids are not very desirable.

pincher openings look too sharp and small for an emerald... but i don't know what it would be.
