LR hitchhiking critter (crab?) ID, dangerous?

[JoJosReef]

Found a new one last night, poking its head out of a rock in a very hard to see area. Could not get a picture that would focus correctly and these videos were the best I could do.

I think this is a crab, but not 100% sure. It has two very tiny claws like a pom pom crab's (without the pom poms), and it is waving around its small hands like a procelain crab would, but it doesn't have larger claws like a porcelain, at least that I can see. Any ideas? Potentially dangerous to the two clowns and many snails?

Worst photos ever

Sorry, I tried. Got different flashlights and everything, but the critter is tucked into a crevice angled to back and cam only filocuses on the areas around it. (at least not spooked by white light).

I'll try again tonight if it's out again. Will try the gopro cam.

I've got one. It's been in my 30 for 2 years. It'll come out. Maybe. Lol. I've seen the entire crab 3 times. Gulf rock. He's been cool and at Nighy he seems to like roids.

Here's the best footage I've been able to get of him with a flashlight. Horrible, but I can't get a good angle on it or even get a good look at it, just it's movement. I don't know if a bottle trap will work, but I will try one.

Hard to tell for sure, but the filter feeding makes me think it's a porcelain crab.

If you have nothing expensive then no issue.
Most crabs are opportunistic feeders and will eat what it can catch.
Few don’t cause issues.

Yeah. That's his mouth parts catching food. Huge claws compared to tiny body. Mines been in the same place. Less white now. More tan. He'll come out. Someday. Lol
