We found this crab tonight. We have not found any missing fish or my corals haven't looked like they have been picked at.

The crab looks like it has coraline all over it and is super ugly. It is about 4" inches across toe to toe and 2.5" front to back. Small pincers and just picked at the bottom of the tank.
 
i feel as though all crabs are evil, however with those tiny pincers i can't imagine it would do much harm. but that dosen't meen it wont try, after all it is a crab
 
The slim pinchers kind of look like a decorator crabs. But the body??? Is it pointed in the front? Body shaped like a diamond?

Yes I beleive that is the body shape. I am trying to get a closer look. I'll let you know for sure.
