Crab help

Hi guys

I somehow caught this guy in my hands when clearing hair algae, any ideas what he may be? He doesn’t look as naughty as gorilla crab I’ve seen before or online but really unsure about it. Thank you!

I don't know the type but I'd wager it is a long the lines of a Gorilla. The black tip on the pincers and how pointy/sharp they appear means trouble. Probably also posted in the wrong forum.

Gorilla crab of some type! Not good, by most peoples accounts.
