Looks like an emerald crab maybe

If they have hairy legs they are bad. That is always my take on crabs..

Check the claw shape. Pointy claws are bad. Little plates (Used for picking algae off rock) on tip is ok.

With a few exceptions, crabs can be extremely destructive in a reef. Since you specifically didn't order that crab, "When in doubt, get it out."

I don't think that's accurate at all. My emerald crabs always have hairy legs.
