Is it reef safe?

Just got my online order and wanted to know what kind of crab this is.

Not a wonderful picture, see if you can grab one from the top down.

Either way it looks like either a emerald crab or green porcelain anemone crab. Could tell by the claws or a top down photo. Both a reef safe, but the emerald can risk some corals, same as a hermit. Porcelain crab is a filter feeder.


Edited as I realized that's its head... not a porcelain crab.

It doesn’t look like an emerald the pinchers are very small and the body is really big.

It almost looks like a pitho.

Hard to depict in a bag- please release into a container for clearer view

Some sort of decorator crab, perhaps?

Photos a bad angle top down is 100X better with crabs.

Almost looks like a Nem crab though if I'm not mistaken. If it is it's 100% friendly and super peaceful.

if the pinchers are super small then nevermind.
