Is this critter safe??

This crab came with an acro. Is this safe or should I get rid off it??

Nice. I had a hitchhiker crab in a birdsnest that looked similar to yours. I was told acro crabs are safe.

I thought the rule was as long as claw tips weren't black.

Or hairy paws. Anything hairy or black will be removed from my tank. Exception could be an emerald crab.
