Not uncommon 4 this fella to enter the tank as a tiny juv along with ur new rocks. Unless u boil the rocks (stupid suggestion)... When it reaches a certain size u can hear its snapping claws especially at night. It will even reproduce like its freshwater cousin from Australia.

Harmless far s my tank goes.

N there u have it.
