Crab ID from Gulf Shores, Alabama

Not to highjack the OPs post, but we seem to have the crab experts on here. How about this little guy? The size of my pinky nail.

I think it is a Pilumnus, but this one is out of my wheelhouse as far as IDs go. Where did it come from?

Off the coast near Tampa Bay.

Okay, I feel pretty good about the genus being Pilumnus, but I would be making a wild guess on the species.

As I look into it, there are about 5 bazillion crab species, and it is not that important to me. What I needed to know is do I want it in my reef. I am pretty sure the answer to that is NO. I appreciate your input. Thank you!
