Be ready for the many more surprises that will pop out of nowhere.
Cool looking crab, no idea where he's been hiding.
Looks like a Mithrax Ruber, similar to an emerald. These guys clean various types of algae off rock. Note blunt tipped claws.

Figured it out, I posted in a similar thread, not this one.
Red crab, was definitely a hitchhiker - Getting remarkably (to me) bigger
I am very curious what sort of size he's going to get, and if I need to worry about him bothering other tank mates. He was barely the size of a quarter in the first pic, and he's at least the size of a 1/2 dollar now, and its only been 5 weeks or so between pics.

I had one of these guys in my live rock from TBS. Little guy is an absolute UNIT of a crab. Was lurking for a while then bam, out of nowhere started to obliterate algae on my rocks like it owed him money or like a John Wick scenario.

That rock is now clean after a couple days and he’s making his way downtown across the tank.
