Does it come out when you feed all the other fish in the tank? Or maybe he's more Nocturne on comes out at night when you're sleeping

Hes very shy...i never see him, i thought he died 3 times now, because the only time i see him is when i pull the rock

That's the same as our pom pom crab in our 90 display tank we see him every once in awhile and not very often

In the past in our nanos we had barnacle blennies and other fish that loved to hide in the rocks. If we wanted to reaquascape the tank we would make sure we had a bucket with a few inches of water from the tank in it and place the rock in there while we were doing the scape. Just be relatively quick about it and have it planned out. Also, try to keep the part of the rock that is in the sand still in the sand, that way you won't trap anyone.
