Name this crab

[Mavericks]

Never saw him on any rock. Pretty much just minds his own business and goes about his daily home remodeling. Can anyone tell me if it’s a danger to my reef tank.

Looks like a Carl. I name him Carl.

Looks like a Craig to me

I’d name him Frank but that’s just me

As to an actual id, hard to really tell in the pics but general consensus is black claws and/or hairy legs is bad.

That said, I can’t see the claws and don’t see hairy legs. As a precaution, I’d sump him(if available) I’m not a huge fan of crabs though

In seriousness, black claw tips are usually dangerous. Since we can't see the claws, difficult to tell. But, most crabs will eat anything they can grab.

He looks red banded, even out to his pinchers. Can't find a match in the googleverse...

With his cammo ability, I'd name him PREDATOR!!!
