ur deff 100% right a species of xanthid crab. i cannot give you the exact name, since there are thousands from this species.

Wow!!! he's kinda cool!

He's a cool looking fellow. Too bad he's so destructive. :\

Marble xanthid? Im guessing. There are many that have that coloration.

I hope you have a sump to put him in.
Would be a pity to destroy it.

He has been banished to the sump... Xanthid Punctatus is the name...

Very cool looking. If you ever want to get rid of it let me know. I could put it in my FOWLR tank.
