So I ordered a maricultured metallic green torch coral from LiveAquaria and it came with its very own sizable crab.

It has hairy legs and green body and claws. I'm thinking it's an emerald mithrax crab, but I want to be sure before I set it loose in the tank.

Can anyone confirm it's an emerald or otherwise reef safe?

Yup emerald! A free couple dollar crab! SCORE!

Cool! Looks like they didn't bother to check if their cleanup crew was sneaking out with their corals... :>

The water was pretty dirty in the bag, and I was startled to see a bunch of claws crawling around with my torch...
