Hitchhiking Crab ID

[NY_Caveman]

Picked up some live rock yesterday and it came with this crab. At first I figured it was just a Porcelain crab, but on closer inspection he is not flat and the color seems wrong. After watching him more closely, and seeing the red eyes, I wonder if it is Xanthid. He is not hairy, equal sized claws. Would love to be certain what he is. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Emerald/Mithrax crab.

I thought similar to Emerald at first, but the red eyes threw me off.

I saw that in my research, but it seemed to be from the wrong part of the world. Looks very close.

@KJ any thoughts?

Pretty sure I had the same crab at one point so I also asked for an ID, (many people seem to have trouble knowing the ID of this particular crab) the answer I recieved was this one
