Help ID these crabs please?

[cyber_ecco]

Hey Everyone,

Can anyone ID these crabs for me? Found them attached to a pom pom coral. Seemed like they were killing the pom pom's by cutting off the stems, but I can't be sure, so would like to ID them first. Anyone know what they are? Thanks.

Gord.

Haven't found an ID yet but someone posted on wetwebmedia with a similiar crab in a similar situation and Anthony Calfo suggested they remove it.
