Default hitchhiker crab

ok so i found my first sign of life today.. (minus copepods.. i didnt really count those guys, they are like EVERYWHERE!) anyway.. i took some pics of him that i'll post tomorrow, but holy crap! i have a crab in my tank. he is very small, about an inch. he is brown and looks simliar to this.....

any ideas what he is? is he reef safe? should i try to feed it?


PS i have tonga live rock in my aquarium, so thats most likely where he's been hitching a ride from.
