Please help me ID him. He has black claws and literally tore my live rock into what is seen in the video, which crab is he?

Thanks

 
Here is 2nd video side view.

 
Bump! Please help? He has moved locations and if he is bad I need to get him out of my reef.
 
Toss it in the sump…sharp pointed claws=bad, not sure exactly what species it is but it’s definitely not reef safe!
 
Looks like a strawberry crab, which is supposedly reef safe, but every crab is different.
Your rock might actually be a sponge, and the crab is just borrowing into it.
