Default snail eating crab

I have a rock crab that came with the live rock. He has only come out of his hole once that I know of. Until this weekend. I bought three small snails and he has come after all of them. He will pick them up, try pulling them into his small hole, in which they will not fit. Drops them and goes back after them again. One snail is dead other two ran away. Is he going to be something that will eat my corals. What should I do with him?

As neat as he may be as a hitchhiker, I can think of a ton more desirable things to have in your tank. You might want to start thinking about getting him out of your tank before he starts thinking about your fish.
