Is this crab reef safe?

Thanks everyone,

Getting that guy out is not going to be easy, should I try using a trap, suggestions?
I have a second crab which I think is a emerald crab, problem is he's camera shy.
Damn hitchhikers....

Eh, not all hitch hikers are bad sometimes you get something interesting

. I would suggest a glass jar, place a peice of shrimp or some meaty food and invert/ rest diagnaly against a rock. The crab should fall in and not be able to get back out.

This does work really well, but some member of my CUC would get into the jar/glass before the crab I wanted to trap would even come close to it.

Just keep at you will get him one way or another
