Aggressive crab but I like it

This guy is vicious! Nothing can share a tank with him and live. First discovered when about dime size, now much bigger. Silver dollar maybe?
Raised in a refugium and now in his own temporary tote.
Can anyone ID?

He may be mean but he's kinda cute.

Some species of xanthid I would say.

Thanks. Always amazing to me how much variety there is out there. Search for images of 'xanthid' and there seems to be all shapes, colors and sizes.

Maybe I'll just have to find him a place in my sump once set up.
