Cali Kid Corals

Ack a hitchhiker crab found o0

I see some legs moving around in a hole on one of my liverock. I don't know how I could have gotten a crab, the only new coral I added were the last frags from BAYMAC and they were small frags. I can't ID it cause I can only see some legs and not the claws or back :( hope he's a nicer one, I haven't lost anything I know of, but I figure if I havent seen until now it means he is a night stalker?
 
The crab finally came out of it's hole a little bit this morning, I saw it's claw :( it was stubby with black tips. It's hole is on a base rock (of course) what's the best way to remove the crab? bottle trap? it never fully leaves it's hole that I have seen (I check at morning, after work, and at around 11pm)
 
I once spent about 4 hours with a red flash light removing a crab from my 14 gallon. I waited until he came way out of the rocks and then grabbed him with a pair of aquarium tweezers.
