Crab ID?

I got this crab with a emerald crab about a month ago, now this guy is twice as big as my emerald? He looks like an algae eater? How big will it get? will it bother any thing in my tank? should I put em in the sump?

Thanks
Cope

OK so this is my first successful pick post, how can I have it as a pick and not a link?
Thanks again

Take a look though here, see if you can find him. It's hard to tell with the lower-quality image.

Sort of looks like a Mithrax Crab to me (last one in that section).

I had one of those, it was also a lot bigger than my emeralds but it looked pretty much the same, if the pincers have ends that resemble suction cups or little circles then it is an algae eater...
