Red Emerald/Mithrix

[Dragon52]

Just wondering about this Crab I found in some rocks I was rearranging in my tank. Had to get rid of some standard mushrooms. Sorry if the pics not to good.

Really hard to tell in picture. Does not look like a red emerald or mithrax per say. Can you get picture clear of claws?

I'll give a try.

Took it outside to get a better pic.

Not a red mithrax or emerald. Claws are broken, so I am at a loss. Let me get some help @ReefSquad

That was my next choice. I found this on Google.

Black tips are never a good sign for our home aquaria. Just a generalization, but usually followed.

I'm not sure where this guy came from because I don't have an real Liverock in my tank & I dip my corals.

I found this here, looks like the same thing. I guess with it's claws broke at the tip he's not going to be able to eat much.

Crab with a light blue color striped legs...POINTY claws???

I purchased a Blue Porcelain Crab but it has "feather" hands, and I can feed it via my coral feeder. This guy is a hitchhiker I suppose...Is it safe?? It's where the bottle meets the rock.
