    i had the same crab hitchhike when I bought a zoa rock. Did some research and even asked on here but couldnt find anything with that pointy of a nose. I couldnt ever catch it as it was super small but it has yet to hurt anything I can tell and I havent seen it in quite awhile.

    Its a decorator crab, Ive caught tons of these little guys in the bay and when looking for peps in port a. Ive put one in my tank before (in my old tank) and it nipped some gsp off and glued it to his back and walked around with bright green polyps on his back, too funny.
