Default Gold Crab with Black Claw!
Hey I have had my tank set up since Nov,02 and just noticed a small crab about the size of a penny with a large black claw. I have no pic because he only sticks the black claw out to grab food, but one day he was crushing the live rock with his claw then taking the bit's and peices back into a crevis. Is this a potentialy dangerous crab? has anyone ever seen one of these?

Anything with claws is a potential predator, especially with a claw powerful enough to crush rock, if I read that corectly. A good place for it is in your sump.
