red baby crab

I am tearing down my 10 gallon mini saltwater tank and placing the few items in my 100 gallon. In the process of taking out the three pcs of live rock a very small little bit bigger then a pea size bright red baby crab came out. My question is what kind is he and is he ok for a reef tank? He is the cutest thing I have ever saw, but I have learned the hard way with two nuisance crabs before eating my fish. He looks different, but before I add him I want to make sure he is ok. Thanks

Its probably a stone crab. Rumor has it that if it has red eyes it is a predator and not reef safe.
