My tank is new.. about 3 - 4 weeks now. This guy apparently is a hitchhiker on one of my liverocks, this is the first day I've actually seen him. He's very skittish and shy but finally came out tonight when I dropped in some pellets for my shrimp. No clue what kind of crab he is but now I'm SO NERVOUS about him. He walked right past my shrimp though and then ran to the back when he saw a bristle worm.

Any clue what he might be? Any chance he won't end up being evil?

I have other images and a video if needed.
 
The uneven front claws remind me of Trapezia, which is a good coral crab. Plus, how evil can he be if he's spooked by a bristleworm? LOL
