I pulled out a 2.5" one of those black clawed hairy leggers last night when i noticed an overturned rock, picked up the rock and it was on the rock right next to my finger.. freaked me out and i pulled him out into a little bucket.
If you see him again on a piece of rock that can be taken out quickly without knocking anything down, do it! Before he gets big enough to do anything bad.. like eat your fish! haha. if you can grab the rock its on before it can scramble onto the next rock he will stay on the rock (the ones i catch never try to jump) and you will be able to get him out easily. I pulled out like 20 of those little buggers in one night one time when I was redoing my rockwork and saw 1, then i went through almost every rock I had to get more out.
