That's a red Mithrax crab - a Ruby Crab (the red version of the Emerald Crab).Hi. Is this a gorilla crab?

Different crabs for sure - this one is most likely not reef-safe, but could you get closer up pics of it?Then is this a gorilla crab? Doesn't look like the same crab.
I lost track of it. They are in a bucket but here is another one.Different crabs for sure - this one is most likely not reef-safe, but could you get closer up pics of it?
This one I would guess is a Mud Crab of some variety (taxonomic family Panopeidae).I lost track of it. They are in a bucket but here is another one.
This one's a red mithrax - about as reef-safe as true crabs (brachyurans) get, but it may cause problems particularly once it's full grown.
This one is a decorator crab of some kind; not particularly dangerous for fish/inverts, but they like to take pieces out of things (like sponges, tunicates, macroalgae, and corals, to name a few) and use them for camouflage - so they're more reef-safe-with-caution.
Can you get a pic of it's back/topside (dorsal side)? It's hard to tell the body shape of the crab from the pic.The last crab I found was bigger than all the others and hairy, but didn't see black claw tips. This one safe too?

That's a Pilumnus species crab, and it seems to be female - not reef-safe; you could make the arguement that it's a gorilla crab:
Yeah, gorilla crab is a bit if a catch-all term in the hobby for not reef-safe, typically hairy crabs (technically, the term applies to Xanthid crabs and arguably Pilumnid crabs, but that's sort of irrelevant
Where are all these crabs coming from?
