Large jerk crab ID

[Hiachi20]

I got this cool looking crab from the lfs for $2 because it was pretty big and cool. They had them labeled as feeder crabs. Quick search directed me to stone crabs. Long story short, it's a jerk and wanted to eat my hermits. He now lives in a refugium and seems to bury himself in the sand.

Welcome to Reef 2 Reef

If it is a Stone Crab they can get massive.

Are you going to keep it?

Thank you! He's in my friend's refugium and he'll stay there until I create one. He attacked one of my hermits so I had to catch him one morning like I was swatting a fly (once I finally got the opportunity) so I don't think I'll go through that pain again

Here's some Stone Crabs. Do you think it's a match?

Oh it has to be a stone crab then after looking at those. Black claws, similar dots on the claws. All looks the same. Just smaller and lighter. Geez they get giant
