Caribbean or Turks & Caicos if I remember correctly and it’s only eating stuff off the rocks so far.

Perhaps it is, Mithraculus forceps? And angle of the photo is throwing me off. Plus didn’t know there were other color variants.
 
Related to emerald crabs, they usually will be content with algae and scavenging. So usually reef safe. But still a crab.
 
I dont trust crabs but these are ones that a lot of people have kept successfully with coral :)
