Well if its a true Caribbean or Gulf Calico Box Crab aka Hepatus epheliticus and it looks like on to me then you best just flush it (: and hope it was not gravid. Their Larva is microscopic and you never want one in your main system.. It kind of looks like one to me but the angel is wrong to really see what you have there . But again its looks like one to me .. Use that Latin Name and look for some pictures I already saw where someone else had a killer in his system today . Live rock probably came in from the Gulf near to the Flordia coast ..
