Xanthid Crabs

Who can tell me about these crabs? I have some as hitchhikers.
I'm assuming they are bad.

Please tell me about them.
Thanks.

I count at least 3 of them, they seem to be eating algae off my rock right now... They move quick...Grrrrr.
I guess I need to try a trap. What did you use as bait?
