Gorilla Crab?

[blalaw87]

I have started seeing two crabs around my tank the past week or so and am not sure what they are. After looking around I was thinking maybe Gorilla Crab?

I know it seems like they are not reef safe will likely go after fish or other animals I believe? If so what are the best ways to catch them to remove them?

Ive no experience identifying crabs other than google searches,but ive read to catch unwanted crabs get like small brandy glass and put some food in it and rest it on rocks at an angle close to where you see it most often and smell off food hopefully attracts it and slides in gets the food but cannot climb back out the slippy glass sides

Ruby mithrax crab. Essentially a red emerald crab. Gorillas are white with black tip pincers.

Generally any crab with pointy pincers or black tips is bad.

If you look close at the pincers on the one you have they will flatten at the pincers tips like small spoons.
