the black dot is the crab sry only phone pic for now never seen it out all the way . Will coral dip kill it or do I need to get tweezers and pull his butt out
 
That thing is tiny, I am a little surprised the coral has not eaten the crab, I would try to get it out of there, I haven't heard of a symbiotic crab with a brain coral, would love to hear what other people have to say about it though.
 
I am trying to find the most finest point tweezers to pick it out . Unless anyone has a way easier way or safer way would help me get the little crab out
 
Crabs can't climb glass so you could add a glass cup or jar with some food inside to try to catch him. Just sit it beside the coral. He's so tiny!
 
So last night I caught him by the mouth of the coral I did use a jar with food in it but coral ate it's then half way thru it finishing the crab came all the way out and I pick his butt off the feed him to my fresh water fahaka puffer
