Crab ID?

Anyone know what type of crab is shown here? He was a hitchhiker I have had for over a year. I found it dead this afternoon in the tank. This was the first time I have ever got a clear look at it.

It looks like a species of Mithrax crab. You can tell by it's pentagon like carapace. Beyond that, I couldn't say. It looks to be closely related to an Emerald Crab because of the scoops on the tips of the pincers

Looks like a red mithrax.
