I los a Ricordea a few days back. Looking for it in my nano found a black tip claw. I used to have an Emerald crab but have not seen it in years but the black tips told me it must be something else. Last night I placed a long shot glass at 45 degree with a piece of shrimp and this is what I found...please help me id it. Could he had eaten my Ricordea?

Yep, it very well may have eaten your coral. It looks like a juvenile stone crab. They can be very destructive in a reef tank. If you have a sump toss it in there.
