Hmmmm!

+1, you will only cause yourself more damage by trying to pry him out. Keep an eye on him and the colony, if you see it go down hill remove him at that point. Between my colonies I think I have around 5 crabs, 1 of them being fuzzy, they swap every so often but everyone seems to be happy.
Now only if I could keep my urchin away.

so he lives???....I had only one crab(with a problem) in my tank and he was the size of a quarter. I actually saw him munch down a staghorn. He met the great river.

he lives... for now. if he gets into any trouble though, your trouble maker might find himself a new companion
