Very reclusive little bugger, and blends in beautifully with the rock, except for the black tips on his claws.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

That's a xanthid predatory crab. The black claws are a tell tale sign. If you have a sump, I'd move him. Chances are, he's eating your snails. Beautiful but, opportunist.
