Came from the famous hitchiker infested but very cool tampa bay salt
water live rock like a little over a year ago. Since then he has almost
tripled in size. the quarter is there for size reference. Any idea or
links to a crab database would be cool.

The only thing I can tell you is that it is a round crab, family Xanthidae. The black
claws tell me that, there are often also called Dark Fingered Crabs, Coral Crabs, Mud
Crabs. Never seen a white one before and I can't find any pics of this crab

Impressive isn't he?!
You should see him tear a piece of smelt apart!
I have an acrylic scaper I use to clean the tank but he attacks it
when I put it in the water and nearly climbs it right up to my hand.
I dont do it to often, I have never put my hand in LOL.
