I think this is good but not sure. Came in on Australian live rock.

Very pretty. I don't tend to trust things with claws, but I can't see any serrations or black tips on the claws, so I'd give it a chance. The color and small limbs make me think that it might be some sort of commensal crab that lives in SPS/NPS. It could also be Etisus splendidus though, in which case it should definitely go in the sump/AIO chamber. A picture under bright white lighting while in water would allow a better ID. Hairy legs and claws with black tips are signs of potential coral eaters, so be on the lookout for those. Hope this helps!
