I had 3 that i know of come in my LR. Two have since died (found remains in the sand), but one is still alive and i see him at night. They look very similar to Emerald crabs in shape and size, but the color is very different. They also have claws very similar to Emeralds and i c mine picking at the rocks constantly. I would guess they are somehow related. I haven't seen mine doing anything bad yet so i am leaving him in for now.
 
i was going to say somwthing like that....beat me to it:D
do the end of his claws end in point or are the rounded and flat(so as to close tightly between the two halves.)
 
If u look at the middle pic, u can get a good view of the claws. They look like the ends r flat, like an emerald crab. I believe this is a good sign.
 
Thats what my crab does, he looks like like my emerald as far as body type and picks at the rocks claw looks pointed at the bottom but rounded on the top like the 2nd pic . Hes hiding right now and I cant get a good pic of him. I kinda hate not knowing what he is.
