Ok.. so I finally got him out of the rock.... his new snapshot... Any idea's now???

Got him in a plastic container with a bit of sand to keep it on the bottom... I just want to make sure he is not going to be harmful to my tank seeing he just appeared one day....

I cant help as to if its harmful or not.

i dont know. i think it may be a Mithrax Spinosissimus couldnt find much info but if you copy paste this and google it there is lots of info and pics.

Thanks... I will try that... not very computer savy but I will give it my best shot...lol.. Going to take the pic to a couple of my fav fish stores to see if they can help too.. thanks for your help

Ok so this is what I found out.... the fish store said it was a black crab... so I did a bit of research... when young can be reddish brown... when they grow up will pick at the fish when they sleep... not in my tank anymore...
