I've also seen a similar purple crab in my tank. I've only seen him for about a day and the most I see is his claw, seeming to rip off algae from the rock and is quite shy. Is this similar to the one you might have? I would also like to know the ID of this little guy!

Otherwise, I'm not too much help for your hitchhiker problem, but I'll google it and post you anything I can find out. Good luck with more ID's!

Purple or blue? There are blue porcelain crabs with small dark colored spots. I have one in my 20gal that's very shy but you can see him once in a while filtering particles out of the water with his "fans".

" One is a hairy tan coloured fellow that is in hiding most of the time "

sounds like a gorrila to me, used to hijack my zoas in the middle of the night.
