I'm afraid it may not be. Looks like a Gorilla crab to me. If it is, it will decimate your small hermits and snails. We'll see what the experts say.....

And WELCOME to the forum!
 
the old general rule of crabs is
pointy pinchers=bad
rounded pinchers=safe
thats not science, but i've always found it to be pretty solid advise
 
Here's a mature gorilla crab I removed from system, too late to save my hermits however.
