To catch a Crab

[Reclipse]

Well I've spent the last 6 weeks or so trying to catch a nuisance crab that's been chewing on my sps. Quick bastard would jet to the rocks at any attempt at capture.. A friend of mine told me to bait a tall glass and prop it up on a rock.. 1st night I caught 3 blue legs, 2nd night I caught 6 blue/red legs.. Third night I caught the big boy!! Worked beautifully!! Banished the crab to the sump...

Nice catch

I recently started having the same problem with one nipping at my toadstool and feather dusters tubes. I will try this method. Thanks for sharing.

I would love to feed those to a nice mantis shrimp.
