Crab ID

Hey anyone know what this crab is? And is it reef safe?
I'm guessing it's a gorilla crab or red mithrax crab.
He's a tiny little bugger.

And

he will :eat: coral sooner or later once he gets bigger. and they get big fast

Is it a gorilla crab or something else and i'm guessing it'll be a good sump critter.
He's probably been with me for over 4 months now.
Will it eat starfish when it gets bigger?

I don't trust crabs in a reef tank myself...But I do if it's a gorilla crab (and it looks like one) Not reef safe at all. and they make a mess of your tank.

Being somewhat new to the hobby it's the first time I've seen or heard of a gorilla crab. I'll google both gorilla and red mithrax crab to read up on their dispositions. Glad I read this post.

Seems to be a mithrax crab.
