Can anyone identify this hitchhiker?

I found this crab in some live rock that I purchased. It's just him and a clean shrimp in the tank at the moment as my cycle just finished.

I am supposed to pick up a Yasha/Pistol pair later today but I want to make sure it won't go after anything before I do that. It's pretty small, it could fit on a quarter.

I thought maybe a red emerald/ruby red crab but the eyes look different to me. Close to the side of it's head instead of in the front like an emerald.

Well I decided to try and catch him to get him out. Someone just told me to put some frozen food in a small glass at night. It will likely try to go in for the food but won't be able to get out. I think I'll give this a try tonight unless anyone else has a better method.
