It's a type of aiptasia/glass anemone.
Tizzo, yours looks like an emerald to me. I've seen a lot of different shades of emeralds...real dark to very light and some with a brown hue to their green.

Do they shoot back into the rock like a duster when disturbed?

His body was a lot rounder than an emerald. I had a couple of those and the grey one wasn't anywhere near the same shape.

Lemme see what other pics I could find...

I had a little red eyed crab for years and the only thing I ever saw him eat was coralline algae and whatever meaty food I gave him, usually silversides.

mine looks like yours but looks more like coraline algae is on his body hmm i never saw a molt so i dont know.
i looked this morning he was hanging out at the same place.

They will, but much slower than a feather duster worm.
I have several of what looks like the above picture but it shoots right back into the rock if anything goes near it.

Yours may be feathers. Do you see a mouth like the one in the pic above?

with those hairy legs and the size and shape of those claws I would still go with gorilla crab.

I had one just like it. He is your basic Stone crab. Red eyes = bad. He started small and grew nice and fat based on all my hermit crabs he chowed on.
You should yank him out ASAP!

Sump Crab! Continue feeding him in the sump and he might get huge! Make some stew!
