Good or bad? Not sure if he will live long with my wrasse about
 
It's an acro crab. Cool to have and from my experience it's safe.
However, when you see a crab on a colony like this, it means that it's straight from the ocean and hasn't been dip. This is how you introduce pest in the tank.
 
I did dip the colony in revive before i put it in the tank as with all my corals. When i noticed the crab i took the coral out the dip and put it in the tank. The coral has been in the shop for a while and i know there is no garantees but their systems are well kept and clean fingers crossed i guess
 
Sorry, I didn't know if the crab would survive in Revive. If it was Bayer(a better coral treatment than Revive IMO) will toast that crab pretty quickly.
