so i spotted a little hitchhiker crab in my rocks, maybe the size of a dime including legs, looks to be off white/tan colored, tried to grab it with tweezers, and there is no way im getting him, from what i can see his pincers look pointy but cant get a good look, havent seen him before and never seen on the corals..... cant get a pic he wont come outta the rock..... googling images now, but any ideas ????

Without a pic, pretty hard to guess. But to be one the safe side I'd try an trap it. Most hitchhiker crabs are not good.
Check here for I.D.

One way to tell for sure is...the Porcelain Crabs pincers have flat tips...where's most flesh eaters have pointed.
