It can shine into just about any nook in the tank & where I can never catch crabs, I thought about the fact that laser's all come with a warning not to look at or shine into the eyes, so I'm wondering if shining it into the eyes of a zoanthid eating crab, may lead to the death of the m'er f'er? I wonder if a blind or sick crab may just die off saving some of the coral. Laser beams always work in sci-fi movies... right?

I don't know about the laser blinding it, but if you can see it with the laser perhaps you can you get a long pointed tool (like that thingy you use to truss up a turkey) and stab it. I've got several crabs with that thingy.
