Crab ID

Is this a young gorilla crab? I caught him in my anthelia this morning.

I dont remember for sure. But I do remember pointed black tips on pinchers is a bad sign.

Thanks. He is a really bold little fella. Only discovered him the day before yesterday, and he wasn't really scared at all. I could use my fingers to poke him and pick him up. He just walked around picking stuff off the rocks. This made me quite fond of him.
Anyway I have removed him as I know as he gets bigger that's when the problems start.
