Can anyone help ID this crab? He's currently living in my 10g nano. I think he's picked off a pepperment shrimp but I can't be sure. I'm about to move some rock from the nano into the 180 and want to know if he should make the trip or not.

Thanks!

Just for reference he's got a purplish coloring and very hairy legs...the hair is a creme color and the underlying legs have orange coloration. I've also seen him scraping rock for algae but he does accept dried brine.

It's tough. He hides so well. Usually only poking a claw and a leg out. I'll try and take another one.
