Argh I got crabs!!


So over the past couple of weeks I have started spotting 2 or 3 Gorilla crabs roaming around in my tank and I was looking for suggestions on how to catch them. I have been looking around on here and have tried a couple of different techniques to catch them like putting meaty food in the bottom of a glass, and chasing them into a net. So far i havent had much luck. There is one that I relly want to get because he has a special taste for sea star legs. He has alredy eaten 3 legs off one of my sand sifting stars.

Try the coke bottle trap. Cut a bottle and put the end you would normally drink from into the bottle. Put some meaty food, they particularly like shrimp cocktail. only catch is you will get all your hermit crabs in there too. This worked for me. Good luck
