those look like fidler crabs. they need land or an area to climb out of the water to survive for any length of time.

not a fiddler have wierd shaped claws that point down and are pink and the body is blue
Thanks

Dunno, but anything with claws shaped like that can not possibly be reef safe.

 

[Absint Reefer]

alright thanks

they look similar to a type of crab i saw at the lfs, they're called blue berry crab due to the color of the body, but i have no idea whether they're reefsafe or not.

 

[Paintbug]

fiddlers or not they still look like a shore crab.

i can identify it if you have a clearer picture..until their identified i wouldnt put them in your tank just to be safe
