I don't know what kind of crab he is. I always refered to him as a rock crab, but he has sharp pinchers so I assumed he was not good. He is actually about the size of a quarter.
He took out a few snails while he was in there. I would find the shells by the hole he lived in. I tried to trap him for the last 5 months with no success. Last week I put the tongs in the tank to clear away some snail leftovers and he reached out of the hole and grabbed the tongs. As I back them away, he came after them and I just grabbed his claw and lifted him out. I gave him to some guys that work at the LFS I use. They like to keep species tanks and I did not want to hurt him.
The funny thing is as I was celebrating the victory, I noticed another one about half his size that I have never seen before. I'll get him one day.
