Hey my crab just looked like this. Found a web page that labelled it as "Gorilla Crab" yet I don't think that this is a very recognized name.
I used method 1) to catch it. Well first I moved the rock out and waiting as someone told me that they would come out themselves after a while on their search for water. Waited for 30-40 minutes and got inpatient so then used 1).
He looked really cute and I brought him to my local store hoping I could trade him in for something. Well he was used as fish food. Couldn't stay to watch it. I even had some nightmares I think as I felt responsible for this poor little guys death... I'm just a big sob when it comes to that.

Bev, great videos! I absolutely LOVE the first couple of seconds of this one with the pincher emerging from the coral.
