What species of crab?

[vikinglord13]

This little guy came as a hitchhiker on my new coral shipment. I figured I'd save him rather than toss him down the drain with all the other gunk. I have no idea if he's reef safe or not. Anyone know what species he is?

Here are photos, he's the cute little white dude, smaller than a pea. I also saw him burying himself after this.

I don't trust most crabs. Small hermits and porcelain crabs are the exception. I say get him out ASAP and keep him in his own tank if you want to save him. He will be trouble when he's bigger.

Hard to tell, but looks like a juvenile gorilla crab.

Hmm, hope it's not a gorilla but I think you might be right. If so, it'll be a pain to catch him 'cause of his size - he is pretty tiny.

Maybe my sixline will eat it.
