What is this guy?

This is a bit of an emergency so if someone could volunteer their knowledge that would be much appreciated

I was very worried these were gorilla crabs can some one please confirm they arent or are? They have black tipped claws but look a bit like emerald crabs, are they?

 

[1epauletteshark]

I am really not sure what to do with these can someone tell me?

I can't make out anything close to ID with the moving video. You might be better off with some zoomed in pictures.

On the other hand....

They have black tipped claws

This is definitively not emerald.

Uh oh, gorilla?

Gorilla crabs do have black tipped pointy claws, and are common hitchhikers in the hobby. So I'd presume so.

The crab with one big claw is the presumed gorilla crab and the other a presumed type of porcelain crab

What kind of tank do you have? If it’s fish only, you’re fine keeping them. Otherwise, I don’t take risks with any crabs with my corals except porcelain (which neither of those are)

Its going to be fish, 5x sexy shrimp, coral banded shrimp, tiger pistol shrimp, blue leg hermit crab, 5x nassarius snails and a bubble tip anemone

I wouldn’t keep this crab. Maybe find someone else who would want it (a local fish store, etc).

re you sure the other isn't a type of porcelain crab? It is a filter feeder and has feathers at the end of its little antenna things that it uses to push stuff in its mouth

I have already decided to humanly put down the two gorilla crabs but i am going to keep the other as it seems harmless
