Nice bonus! That's a Sally Lightfoot crab... They're reef safe, and a great addition to the cleanup crew.

claws are pointy, generally a good indication that it's a carnivore.

not sure of exact ID, but i'm guessing some type of gorilla. no good

Looks like a sally light foot to me too

Mike and BestMom might be right, mori look at it, i think its a sally lightfoot also,
still not considered reef safe though, known to become aggressive when mature.

I've got two and they are very active scavengers and interesting in their own right: https://www.thesprucepets.com/sally-lightfoot-crab-facts-2924548

This guy kinda looks hairy and not quite as flat as a sally lightfoot...

Not sure on the exact ID but I don't believe that's a Sally lightfoot. Those claws are saying sump to me.

Thanks DSC , I thought the short thick claws were a warning.
