Usually when I find a crab like that, he may start off in the main tank but he ENDS up living in the sump, not the other way around.

Most. Awesome. Smilie. Ever.

Anywho...
That looks like the crabs I pulled out of my rocks... miserable little bastards were eating my hammer corals. Lived quite happily in my sump for a long time, though. Hardy.

The only saltwater crabs I like are the pom pom ones. Mostly because they already have anemones in their claws and can't do any damage. I also like to think of them as coral cheerleaders. Grow SPS grow! Grow SPS grow!

Oh and I do have an affinity for Dungeness with garlic butter. Mmmm....
