I have found these guy in my live rock I purchased... Don't know if they are reef safe and im not sure if I should keep or give to Some one with a sump.

Was told this one might be an emerald crab but not sure here are some pics

Usually, anything that has black tipped claws are bad.

Alright..so it's looking like the second guy is bad... Had another thread that said if they have rounded pinchers they eat Algae and if they have pointy they will pick at fish and others
