I'd try to catch and ID the crabs. A lot of them can be nasty... I spent months trying to catch one that was eating my hammer corals.

These little crabs we have are lightning fast and are very skiddish. They are light grey in color......does anyone know? Do these small guys turn out to be quite large, or do they stay small. I can't even get a picture of one to post. I will have to keep an eye on them......as if they are coral eaters ---punt--- out they go. I am safe for a while as we are still cycling the tank.

It is easier if you watch them go into a rock then pull out the rock.
That's what I did this morning. Tweezers and a turkey baster had it out in 10 min. Check it out in: why is there a spider in my tank
