Acro Crab ID?

Catastrophi

New member
Just bought a nice tenius colony and found this crab on it. It's not the normal white and black crab I've seen before so I wanted to double check. The colony doesn't seem to have any damage on it so I figured it might be safe?

I'm talking about the top crab.

Yeah, the crab at the top of the photo looks like a Trapezia crab, which are fine. The other guy looks like trouble!
 
The top one is Trapezia digitalis (which should be harmless). The bottom one is Cymo andreossyi (which generally mean trouble in a reef tank).
 
Yeah. I've seen threads about the bottom one, but I wasn't positive about the Trapezia digitalis so I figured I would ask you experts!
