    Try: http://www.chucksaddiction.com/hitchhikers.html I can't see it well enough and I know they aren't easy to take pictures of them. Hopefully you can find it:0) Just remember that when in doubt, throw it out. If you have a sump/refugium it can go in there until you know for sure:0) Good luck!!

    It appears to have black tips on its feet which leads me to believe it is a gorilla crab which is bad. Check for pointy claws

    It appears to have pointy claws, hard to get a good look at it. It stays hide in live rock 99% of the time, every now and then I can sneak a look at it when its out.

    Any advise on how to get it out of my tank and what to do with it if and when I catch it..
    If it bad to have in my tank not sure anyone else would want it either...
