If i remember right you got the big black crab out but not the sand crab. You probably still want to get out the sand crab because those polyps i bought you are zoas and that may be why you are having trouble getting them to open up.

I think the small tan crab was in the same piece of live rock or he went down the sink when I rinsed things because he is MIA. Believe me, I have been watching the tank carefully because of my new coral purchase. What is hard to believe is that black hairy crab has been in there since August and I never saw him. He is about the size of a quarter plus legs, etc. I haven't been able to get a picture of him in the sump yet. Anyone have a good site that I can look at to try and identify him?

By the way, son, my zoas you bought me are doing very well now. Bought a turkey baster as you advised. See I do listen to you.
