It's been in my tank for couple months, and so far hasn't been harmful to anything in my tank(knock on wood) lol, say hello to my new friend, Mr.Krabs with red eyes.:smokin:

I think it is an Actaeodes sp. Maybe a colormorph from Actaeodes tomentosus.
I also own one of those crabs.

Here another similar crab:

I see, yeah it looks just like that 1, is it reef safe???(I clicked on that website but it's in a different language) I heard it isn't, but it has been in my tank for 3-4 months and my corals seem fine

Reef safe, hmm well there are different opinions, unfortunately. Some say yes and others say no.
I have 10 or 11 Actaeodes tomentosus in my 60 gal. tank. Carpaxsize from 0,3 cm to 3,7 cm. Many hermit Crabs, Snails, brittle stars, other crabs and tube anemones.
If I do not feed them enough, they attack my serpent/brittle starfish and other tiny crabs. But no problems with my Corals, tube anemones, equal size crabs and healthy fishes (tiny Dischistodus perspicillatus and before the damsel a Stonogobiops nematodes with A. bellulus)

My Actaeodes tomentosus crabs spawning all the time.

Yes, it´s right, that´s German. Look at my great English (signatur). :lmao::eek::lol2:

As long as you can find anything bad, let them in the tank.

That´s my 2 cent

A slipper lobster perhaps? Could you chase somewhere you could get a better picture of it?

Thanks and good luck!

No definitely not. I have the same crab and that isn´t a slipper lobster. :wavehand:
