Hi. Finally got a shot of this guy and was wondering if anyone knew what kind of crab it is and if it will hurt my soft corals. He's really hairy. These are the best shots I can get of him. I know the rock he hangs out in and I think I can get him if I stick a knife in there. Is there a better way of removal? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hairy, pointed/brown tip claws usually are a bad combo.
You can try the tilted glass next to his hole with food in the bottom.
Is the other claw larger?
 
Humm, I was afraid of that. Both claws are the same size? I'll try the tilted glass trick. Thanks for your help and advice.
