Found this little hitchhiker on some rock I bought yesterday. Does it look reef safe? Less than an inch across at this point. Sorry for the out of focus pic. Had to move quick.

Black pointed tips in the claws = bad.

Got 'im. I will take it over to a friends house that has a none reef tank (mostly) and has a wrasse that will probably dispose of him naturally.

generally on crabs pointy claws mean predator.. blunt tipped ones are algae eaters. I dont trust any of them though. they are all opportunistic
