Hitchhiker soup - Help with ID please.

Hitchhiker soup.

Help with ID please. What type of Crab (he’s dead) and Nudibranch’s are these?

I’m dumbfounded how that crab got in. My tank is only caribsea life rock and small frags. Everything was dipped twice using iodine (reef dip) and coralRX.

He’s not small. He’s easily 1.5-2” across.

Hairy claws and black feet are a no-no and possibly a mithrax(part of gorilla crab grouping) - chuck it…. All of them

The other guys need to go as well. Zoa eating nudibranch.

Also, some kind of anemone looking thing in the lower left corner.

Yeah that’s an aiptasia I sucked out from the sand bed. Haven’t had an issue with those. That’s the only one I’ve ever seen and that was a week ago. The nudi’s I found 3 and removed all of them. Going to get a yellow wrasse just in case.

If you have seen one you will eventually see more.
