Crab ID

Hey all, just wondering what type of crab this fella is.

It's a crab in the Xanthidae family. Most reefers would chose to remove this crab from their tank. More photos from different angles will be needed for a better id.

Any particular angle? I figured I wouldn't be able to keep him. No sump. >.<

Photos of front, top , and bottom of crab will usually provide enough information to get an idea of identification. The closer and more in focus the better. Your local lfs might take the crab. Or maybe you can try posting on a local classified site like craigs list and make a few bucks.
