Great hitchhiker ID site

I had a rock tumble down last night, after a recent re-aquascape.. this was the one rock I couldn't fit in the new design.. so I decided to pull it out all together.. so I grabbed it with the aquatongs, tumped it in my bucket with some water and this little red/orange and white crab jumped off... this same crab I had seen now and again and had to catch numerous times with no luck.. wow! oh happy friday. I was in a real hurry when I did this.. so (prolly should not have done this..but) I hastily deposited him in the bay (our place is over the water) and spent some time looking for a match on various websites after I got to work.. that's when I found this site:

(EDIT: omg.. I just came across a post by charlesr1958 and this is his site.. go figure such a good and informative site would be a fellow TRT member's)

seems like a very nice resource compared to a lot of the sites I have searched today. I think the pest in my tank was a Liomera aff. tristis or he/she at least looked VERY much like this.. with the white-red-white-red striped legs and body color..

Anyways.. just thought I would share this nice resource with you all. Sorry of it has already been posted.

Thank ya, and do look for it to keeping expanding as I find and collect such critters off the reefs here on a weekly basis. For others, do keep in mind that even if I do not have a specific critter shown, there are a good many links provided that should be of help as well. Am really glad to hear it has been of use to someone. Thanks again.
