Baby Emerald Crab?

Ok, last night I was looking at my tank, and noticed something very small moving on some Montipora that I have been watching for growth. It was very tiny, but as I watched, I could see that it had the shape , legs , and movement exactly like a full grown Emerald Crab. My question is pretty simple.... are there any small crabs that might look like Emerald Crabs that eat Montipora, or is it just possible this is actually a baby Emerald Crab?
Thanks, Dave

Possible. I have also seen some tiny crabs in my tank that hitched in with corals. They end up dying after a couple days.
