CRAB ID, Is this reef safe?

[pettyhoe]

I found this little guy on my liverock in my QT where I was trying to breed my cleaner shrimp.. I like the little guy, so I want to put him in my DT, what do you think? What is he and is he reef safe? Here are some pictures, short little legs. I think maybe a shameface crab, but I could be wrong.

If it is the same crab then SWF says he is...

They dont have a whole little bio on him though..

blunt claws (as opposed to sharp pointy ones) is usually the first way to rule out bad crabs.
I think he is safe but Ive never had one.

It does look like a shameface, def not a teddy bear crab. Do you have a refugium to stick him in?

naw, BC29, I built a refuge in the back middle tank, but I'd rather see the little guy. Anybody have a positive ID?
