Crab and star ID please

[Jenny_rs]

Last night I spotted something trying to move one of my zoo frags and found a crab. I also spotted a tiny starfish. Does anyone know if they are good or bad? I've managed to seclude the crab in another smaller 3 gallon I had laying around. Thanks!

It appears to be a Gorilla Crab... I would yank it out stat!

Does it have blue eyes?

The starfish is an Asterina.

I did take out the crab after spotting him on one of the rocks I could remove so he's out. Can't really tell if he's got blue eyes but I'll try to see. Should I be worried about the asterina? I've heard they eat zoas...

The people who say Asterina eat zoanthids mostly say that the colored ones are the bad actors, and that the white ones are safe.
