I have a porcelain crab for almost two years now...he does not bother anyone in my tank..he is about the size of a quarter now..they are really cool to watch when they filter the water...mine hangs out at the top of the tank and when I feed the tank he waves his claw for a piece of mysis shrimp... very cool to have...good luck :)

I have never had a problem with arrow crabs and have had dozens of them. If you get a female they have tiny claws and they stay smaller and will not harm anything.
They are also one of the few crabs that will not hide and you can see them.
I also like this decorator crab, white thing with red algae on it on the rock

Ok that did not take long. There does not seem to be consensus on this and in fact I would say it is 50/50. Some reefers have experienced fish and coral deaths and others nothing at all.
This could be a particular species so the safe thing to do is stay away.
Unless you you are feeling lucky.
