Red crab hitch hiker with white markings pointed claw

[nonstop]

Came on live rock purchased at LFS this rock was small maybe 4 inches but it had some cool orange growth on on the under side that wasnt touching the sand & four small feather dusters. This guy was in a hole on it, he lost one claw during my struggle to make it show itself. Is it good or bad for my 29BC?

Well it looks more like a Mithrax Crab which tend to be safe.

Xanthid crab, not reef safe. Please avoid double posting. You can ask a moderator to delete a duplicate thread. Here was my post in your other thread:

Scroll down this article to ID your crab:

If the crab has 3 pairs of walking legs instead of four, it is a harmless porcelain crab.

I reported the double posting just now, this was only my second post ever. It seems I have exposed myself as the newd that I am. Thanks for the advice I knew I had doubled, just didnt know what 2 do about it.
