TBS crab ID?

[afgun]

Hi. Part 1 of the package for a 200gallon in... we need help identifying if this is a reef-safe crab or not. Thanks in advance from very satisfied customers so far!

Any ideas, Richard?

Hey there,

I have no idea what type of crab this is, but they are not reef safe. They pick at gorgonian polyps when they get big.

It was cool for a while cause it ate a lot of algae and detritus but then the body got to be about 0.5" across and it started to cause trouble.

Cool red eyes though.
