i wouldnt chance it, it is probably aggresive and could maybe try for inverts and fish.

pointy black tipped claw, oval shaped shell, no eye stalks, I'd have to guess some type of xanthid crab. I would put it in the sump, feed it to something that will eat it (mantis shrimp/some fish), or give it to someone else to feed something.

I bought one of these (I really like crabs) and I saw him pinch my Scooter Blenny, so I put him in the sump. He died mid-molt

If that's just a molt, keep the crab in a sump, he's a cool one, like a sleek, black emerald crab. If that's the dead crab, well then, it doesn't really matter.
