ID this crab please

[polyppetey]

I found it on a soft coral I got today.
It is very small, white and has small brown spots on it.
The claws are small and pointy. Thank you for any input.

I hate to just kill it as it is so darn cute.

Sorry, the image is too small to tell what it is.

Sorry, that is as close as I can get, the crab in TINY! I don't know what to do with it, I was hoping to get a response to help with my decision.

For reference the crab is in the bottom of a plastic sippy cup and is as wide as my pinky nail legs and all.

I thought the general rule was dark body/claws equals bad guy. I'm not positive or would rely on that rule, but I agree he is pretty cool!

If you're quarantining the coral then I would it back with it and watch its behavior. It may be a commensal crab and actually provide some benefit for its host.
