Id be happy to give him to anyone who wants him, any ideas how to get it to come out of the rock it lives in i caneasliiy remove the rock but what do i do from threre, could i dip it in freshwater or somthing to get the crab to come out? Ive tried bait already.

[dirtyreefer]

You could dip it in freshwater, or try pouring club soda over the rock, I heard that works.

judging by the shape of the pincher's I would guess it is an algae eating crab.. but all crabs can be opportunistic feeders also..
