Any idea what kind of crab this is?

Found this in the nano today while doing a water change, pic doesn't do it justice. The pic is from the back, this thing has some serious claws. I've had 2 small clowns, 2 reef chromies and a purple firefish totally disappear in the last 2 weeks. I'm hopin this is the culprit.

Looks like either a gorilla crab or stone crab

After seeing the larger pic I am not really sure which kind it is. Gorillas are usually hairy. With all of those guys missing, he would be a good start.

He may have to go to the sump. I had a sally lightfoot that got huge and ate a diamond goby. I'm not to keen on friggin crabs.

I had one of these in my tank and another one that was white with black claws and the same thing was happening to me with disappearing fish. It was the stone(black clawed)crab that was the culprit.

This one didn't have hair on it, he went to the sump anyway.

This one was kind of whitish with brown spots and huge black claws. I'm not sure he was the one killing off my fish, but I didn't want to take any chances.
