Help with "Crab" ID

[FLFish]

Hi all.
I need help ID'ing something that looks liike a crab in my 9 Mo. old 10 gal
nano-reef. I woke up this morning and before turning any lights on inside
the tank just happened to look in and see a small white tarantula looking
creature near my ricordia. It is about 3/4" and I couldn't really tell if it
was a crab or a starfish. It moves like a crab and the ends of the legs are
pointed like my other crabs. I never bought it but it has probably been
there for months, any idea what it could be/eat and if its dangerous?
Digital camera doesn't seem to be an option as I have never seen it and
probably wont be able to find it readily. Links to sites with info would be
great too!!!

Thanks
Some guy with fish.

Have any of your fish been dissappearing?
