Default Ugly black crab

Does anyone know what kind of crab this is and if it's good because I caught it ****ing off the corals. Thanks.

cough on corals then dead it should be. I would not have a crab in my tank maybe in a sump but that would be as close as it would get to a tank in my house. They are not trustworthy.

If it has pointly sharp claws, then get rid of it... Not Good!

I got a glimpse of something similar peaking out from under a rock on the weekend. I also had a two year old cleaner shrimp go AWOL a few days ago and I wonder if the crab is the culprit. How do you go about collaring one of these bad guys?
