I relocated my tank yesterday, and in one of the tubs I moved live rock in I found a crab I didnt put there. The crab is sort of a pinkish brown color and it had 2 claws of equal size that are black on the ends. I did not purchase this crab so I guess it has been there a while. I dont have my camera here, but does this sound familiar to anyone. I searched a little and it resembles a strawberry crab but not as pretty of a pink. Does this guy sound like a trouble maker. Thanks for your help.

it is about the same size as an emerald crab. Speaking of emeralld crabs, I did notice that I did not see any of my emerald crabs in the tank, could this little SOB have killed them?

Sounds like a bad crab to me.
