As a last resort, if you do take apart your tank to get at the rock, hot tank water isn't going to budge the crab from its rock. Get a good light and look into all the crevices of each rock. Use some kind of long, sturdy, skinny metal tool to dig into the crevices. You'd be surprised how many other crabs you'll find this way.
yeah like a skewer for shishkabob (spelling?) i saw one and oops its was one of my emeralds, i'm going to try the glass trick. he was a mean old looking crab thats for sure. On the up side i kind of just move some rock to one side etc..now i see so many potential aquscaping possibilites can't wait to get the new lights as well
