After a 6 week crab hunt, I was finally able to catch and remove this guy from my tank! After trying the inverted bottle trick, baiting it with shrimp and a hook, I finally removed the rock it was hiding in and suspended it above a couple inches of saltwater in a 5 gallon bucket. About 5 minutes later it crawled out and as they say, the rest is history! Thanks R2R in helping to identify this gorilla crab! I'm feeling pretty great today! What is the next thing my tank will throw at me....stay tuned for the next chapter :)

good shot, nice catch:)
 
Jezzzz, I am usually fond of most crabs as long as they are not in my tank, but man that guy just looks mean, I mean really mean.:eek::eek::eek:

Congrats on your conquest!
