It looks like a hermit crab that is out of its shell. Do you have any empty shells in your tank.

Yeah, that's FRANK. He has been missing for some time, there might be a reward.

hehe, sorry. Yup, Porcelain Crab, I LIKE EM. But know this. They DO like to hide,
so observing them will not be easy. Once you find their lair, they do tend to stay
in one spot during the day. Very unique behavior/way of feeding.
