Pretty sure that's a porcelain crab, harmless filter feeder.

Thanks everybody for the replies
I'll go with the majority and into the DT it goes, right after I sex it

I think noirsphynx may be right and it's a Porcelain of some kind
That means I now have 3 different ones

Yup, pretty positive on it being a porcelain, I've seen quite a few variances working at the LFS and have purchased a few myself. I'm pretty sure porcelains are just about impossible to identify gender wise because if I remember correctly they are more closely related to shrimps than crabs.

OK thanks, good to know
I found another in the rock so I've baited a glass
If the first one is about 1/2", the second is smaller than 1/8"
