Any idea what type of crab this is?

It looks different than the baby gorillas I found earlier, I am thinking maybe a ruby mithrax?

I don’t know, but I would get it out if you can

Looks like Ruby Mithrax crab they're from the same family as emerald crab. Also called red emerald crab.

Mithrax and needs to be evicted

When I googled your crab-
Ruby Red Mithrax Crab (Mithrax sculptus) The Saltwater Ruby Red Mithrax Crab is very similar to the Saltwater Emerald Crab in exception of it being ruby red. It basically has the same diet and will eat most types of algea. They are also very reef safe and a joy to watch in the home aquarium.

Maybe sell him instead or keep

It is not a bad crab to have... keep it. No real reason to evict. I keep 4 in my frag tank to help with algae...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. He's staying until otherwise proven to be a problem.
