Is this a gorilla crab?

I'm pretty sure this is a gorilla crab, but I thought I'd get a consensus before we have krabby patties for dinner tonight. It's taken me months to catch this evasive little guy.

 

Probably not a gorilla, but it looks just as unfriendly.

 

Yeah the pointy little claws make him look like he eats fleshy things.

I've seen a thread on this forum before about an emerald crab's carapace turning white. Does anyone think that this could be one of my long-lost emerald crabs that I put in the tank a year ago and never saw since?

 

Its claws are flat at the end like a mithrax crab. I would be tempted to say its a friendlyish crab based on that. But i couldnt be certain.

edit - it looks very suspiciously like a mothrax crab just not the usual colour..... hmmm tricky one that.

 

supposively if the ends of the claws are black it will eat fleshy things ei. fish

 

Sump or fuge if you don't want Krabby patties.

 

Well, the pincers are concave or in a spoon shape, which I've learned by reading other hitchhiker crab threads is a rock scraper and it eats algae. So I would say, despite its bad looks, he's a friendly one.

Mind you, almost ANY crab can turn into corals at any point. I would leave it in the tank, unless you feel safer with him in the sump/fuge.
