Since you guys love to see some pics, here comes a couple.
Last night i took a look in the tank when feeding some phyto to my corals, finally i got a decent pic of my favourite crab. I think it's a Mithrax but not sure, can anyone confirm this?

the crab doesn't look like a good one. usually harry crabs will end up eating fish after a while

You have a Hairy crab (Pilumnus sp.)
or a Mithrax
Crabs that are used for algae control, may be fine for awhile, but with all crabs being omnivores,
it is usualy only a matter of time before these crabs discover that there are meatier items to be had within your aquarium.
