TBS Rock Crab ID?

[8BALL_99]

Hi all,, I just got my 1st shipment of tbs rock yesterday. I have a number of hitchhickers of course. But just for now can anyone tell me if this guy is good or bad?? We also had a 2 to 3 inch gorilla grab I know he's bad but not sure what this one is. Any help would be great.

Red emerald. Related to green emerald

When small, eats algae. But when he gets bigger, he picks at corals & stuff. Best to give him away or feed to a trigger...

Kewl, Thanx for the quick reply.

my mithrax crabs desimated all the 'pretty' macro algae that I like so much. I watched them pick at my open brain too.

I grab them whenever I can.

lol well after sneaking up to my tank tonight I just saw 3 more gorilla grabs on one rock. Wow these things are everywhere, that makes 4 of them and 1 red emerald so far.

Not that this has anything to do with crabs but anyone know what this is? I'm sure its common cause I've got like 3 of them.
