Okay so on Saturday I got all my live rock and arranged it nicely in my tank.
I was sitting watching it in the evening as alsorts of things were becoming visible already, when all of a sudden a big sandy beige hearly leg popped out of a hole in one of the big pieces off rock, I then watched as three more legs poked their way out before retreating back inside. this hapened several times thoughout the evening, and I wondered if I had positioned the rock so the main entrance was blocked and the critter was stuck inside. However it appers I had nothing to worry bout their as tonight he has actually broken away a lump of the rock and has emerged from underneath. he is very shy so I turned out the lights, after about a ten minute wait he came most of the way out. he looks like a sort of crab, but it dosent look like he has a shell, it also dosent look like he has any pincers either, and his legs are over 2" long and covered in spiney hair, each about the width of a toddlers finger. this thing is pretty huge and moves like a spider, I think he has clocked us watching him and has moved back under the rock and has moved a broken of piece of rock in front of him. What the hell is this thing and is it bad?!?!?!
