I just captured this rather large and unidentified crab in my saltwater aquarium last night and am holding him in a small glass until I can find out what and where this thing came from. I'm worried that it may be harmful and that it might explain why all of my button pollyps slowly started disappearing. Can anybody please help me to indentify this crab as friend or foe?

Thank you,
~Greg

My dad randomly brought home four Betta fish with next to no supplies or no nothing to look after them. Any advice is appreciated!
