I have about 3 of those guys, or something like them. So far all they do is pick at the rocks and eat food. Like reefwars mine only come out at night.

When I opened your pic up the first thing I said to myself was, "Holy ****! If I found that in my (soon-to-be) tank I'd freak the F out!" And probably make my other half skewer him with a fireplace poker.

He's nasty! Sorry you've grown attached and no offence but he's just gross! lol

Wow what a badass looking crab. Hope he's at least getting to live in the sump.

The best thing to do with these guys is take them to a LFS that has triggers in stock
