Help w/ crab ID

[hpiranha]

Hey,

My girlfriend spotted this little guy at Alti's tucked inside a rock w/ some yellow polyps on it. Alti seemed to suspect that he was nibbling on the polyps as they weren't flourishing in his setup. He seems happy enough picking through the gravel in my refugium. I was hoping someone might help with an ID...maybe a juvenile calico crab (Hepatus epheliticus)?

-Thanks-

I don't know but he's really cool! I saw him as he was getting picked out of the coral. Congrats with him.
