Crab ID

[fireman26m]

Had a crab come in on my live rock. He started at about the size of a dime and now is larger than a quarter. I fould a pic that looks almost identical on a website but it didn't specify what kind of crab it is...just general crab facts. He hasn't hurt anything and just hangs out in front of a little burrow he made under a rock. I recently caught him and he's now in my brackish-sw Green Spotted Puffer tank. The puffer is the only fish and he's so messy I figured the crab would be well fed. Been in the puffer tank for 4 days now and is doing fine. Anyone know what he is and should I keep him, flush him, or trade him at the LFS?

TIA

Got a bunch of those, some are still alive in my mantis tank. Not reef friendly.

 

[got bait?]

Decorator crab?

Def. not a decorator....never adds to his carapace....just really fuzzy. And his rear set of legs actually point behind him....almost like he should have another set of claws back there....weird.
