Acro Question

[Lepchitz]

Brought a new piece of acropora home from the fish store this weekend. I live in a small town, so I dont know what kind of acro it is, Anybody? Also, if you look closely, you can see a little crab that lives in the center of the coral. I have heard mixed oppinions on these crabs being good or not. I am new to this community, so I was going to see what yall had to say.

i think it is a acropora humilis. the crabs are good, i have many of them for years and they dont do any harm. i think they help circulate water in the branches and provide some fertilization too.
