Help with Crab Identification

Found the guy while doing some rescaping. I'm thinking it's a Mithrax, but he's darker than I would have expected? Any thoughts? Put him back in the tank or find him a new home? Might explain some small fish disappearances I've had over the years.

emerald crab, reef safe.

It's not an emerald crab, that's for sure. Try looking up Chlorodiella.

No its not. Look at the legs. Very hairy. To the sump with this little guy

Yeah, Chlorodiella Nigra looks about right.

I'd have to agree with you on that. If I put him back in the DT I'll never find him again.
