we found this strange crab in our live rock tonight. does anyone have an idea what he might be? we could not get a pic he was way too fast he lives in a hole in lr that we have had for about 3-4 weeks and we have never seen him when the lights are on but we did get a good look tonight and he is like a peach/orange color, about an inch in size and one pincher is bigger than the other and they have black tips I'm going to keep trying for the pic(wish me luck) I just want to make sure he is not a bad one to have in our tank so far none of our fish or inverts seem to be effected. any ideas???

I am no expert but my understanding is if it has black tips it is bad. How you can get him out of the tank

Can you get his rock?

the lr he is on is a very nice piece and has some mushrooms growing on it I think we are going to try to trap it with a jar and some yummy food tonight and I will post a pic as soon as I can catch him
