Hey Everyone!
I got TBS live rock @LiverockRocks for my tank in June and love all of the life that is now in my tank because of it!
Today, when I was feeding my tank, I noticed a small crab that I imagine hitchhiked in on the TBS live rock (although, of course, I cannot be 100% certain of...

Using bait that floats? Trying to catch a shrimp? Make these adjustments to the trap:
shrimp tails, silversides, krill

This little guy was in a bag of hermits I ordered. He's about 1-2cm across. His front claws are pretty long comparatively and very symetrical. Maybe a porcelain crab? Does not look like the mithrax that came in a separate bag.

Finding hitchhikers (benign ones especially) is actually one of my favorite things about reef-keeping! And today I noticed a new friend in my 1.5 gallon that I most definitely did not add. It’s a beautiful little crab, but not particularly active— I’ve never actually seen it move, just sort of...
hoping somebody can help me identify this little critter. I’ve just started my tank, so it is a little cloudy, but after 20 minutes of setting it up, I noticed this little guy.
While i was feeding my tank, tonight i notcied this in the rocks. Im not sure if its a hermit crab or something else. Picture quality apology, it's from a video capture.
This little guy has been eluding my camera for quite a while now, but I finally got a picture of him. He was a hitchhiker on a Petco rock and he’s super chill. He hides most of the time and only comes out when food is close to him.
This carb has made a hole in the sand under all my rocks I would never be able to get him. Should I leave him in or get him out. Is he safe to leave in?
Hello.
Hoping someone could help me ID this hitchhiker who has been in my tank for a few weeks now.
He is quite small, so the video and pics wont be all that clear, my apologies for that.
Legs are yellow, which turn into a light red pinky/orange colour. The body of the crab is purple...
