Crab ID Please

I have this little bugger in my aquarium.. Very shy, comes only out at night, so i have had a real hard time getting a photo, but this time i was lucky, it has just molted so this is his old shell, intact and fine..

 

The size of it is about 2 cm across..

 

Thanks!

Usually the bad crabs have serrated claws for meat-tearing, it's hard to tell from the pic angle but they don't look serrated. Most smooth-clawed crabs are algae pickers and detrivous scroungers. If someone can't ID it and you're worried, best bet is to remove it, give it to your LFS.
