I think this is a zorro reefsafe sps crab. I have look like this crab sit into the sps and I have not a problem...

Doesnt look like a bad crab to me, even so if your worried about it toss him in your sump!

The coral that is receeding right now is the one he came out of. That is why I was concerned
