HI guys,

New here. I bought live rock from a guy in craigslist and found this guy late at night. It's pretty big (relative to some of the fish I have) and wanted to know if they will live in peace. Do you guys know what kind of crab he is?

Looks like some type of stone crab. They can be very destructive. If you have a sump you can toss it in there.
 
I did a lot of googling. The pics seem like it's a convex crab. Bad thing is if it is that then those crabs get pretty big.
