Ok i just started a new tank about a month ago and now i ave a white hitchhiker crab. i just purchased a emerald crab and saw them both grazing the same spot but there could more.
i have looked on wetweb to id this little guy (about half the size of the emerald) from what i can tell they have the same shape and body type. Any ideas on how to catch it it does not seem to be bothering anything and i just put some polyps in as well as well as some snails.
it does not seem to bother anything all i have seen it do is eat algae.

I would leave the crab alone until it commits an infraction.Putting coral in your tank this soon is not a good idea,your major cycle wont be done for a couple of weeks.
