Can someone identify?

I know this picture isn't very clear but I can't get a good picture. This crab just showed up in my tank after 9 months.

It does have black tips on the claws. It doesnt really have dots on it. It just looks ghost white. it likes to bury itself underneath the LR. If it is a stone crab should I get rid of it?

 

[teresaq]

black pointy claws are bad. They may become a menis.
If you have a sump, put it there.

Might be a gorilla crab. Have you had any fish come up missing?

 

[sid2003]

No fish missing. The crab is still pretty small.

I'd get it out.
