Is this a reef safe "acro crab"

I just finally caught it in my bird nest. About 1/4" in diameter.

Not sure about that one but I had an acro that was looking bad and looking it over I found a tiny crab that was digging in the base of it so I would watch out and when i doubt throw it out.

If it is hanging out in a bird nest and doing it no damage, then put the cute little guy back.

Those pincers look like they are for cutting like scissors, and not pinching or grabbing, to me anyway...

I toss all crabs in the sump just to be safe. Unless I put the crab in the tank in the first place. =)

Looks like it it to me but Leslie and other experts should chime in soon. or a Trapeziid crab?

Yup, a trapeziid & beneficial for the coral.
