Crab with white claw tips good or bad?

[Pipefishlady]

Hi, I got some new live rock, so lots of new hitchhikers. Found this guy, he has white tiped claws and everything I'm reading says that white tips are good? Is this a good guy?

I think you are right! At least looks like it from googling Thanks!! Now to figure out what to do with him as from what I read they can get big are not nice

Secondary crab found...he has evil red eyes and huge claws...i believe black tips...id anyone

I'd sump both of them. Just don't forget about them and get a big surprise in a year or so when they've grown!

Didnt want to start a new thread so thought I'd try an just keep adding to here first.
I have several brittle stars but they are all just brown...this guy is bright red....is it still safe?

Should be - the only brittle stars I'm aware of being a problem are the big (big!) green ones. Those guys are capable of wrapping an arm around a small fish and reeling it in. I've seen them work on krill, and they're _fast_.
