Default Help ID'ing a crab

Look what I found in my live rock ... Can anyone ID it?
More important, is it reef-safe?
It's hard to tell from the pics, but the shell almost seemed to have a green cast to it, and the shell & legs are smooth, not hairy.

Sorry for the pic - quality, the crab is small (~1.5cm carapice) and I had the lights off so he wouldn't hide while I tried to get a picture of him

Okay, so assuming I can catch my little Lucifer crab, can I toss him in the sump, or should I use him in a very small bisque?
