so last night around 1030pm the husband and I were watching our tank, and discovered our pom pom crabs had reappear for the first time since we got them in may! how exciting!!! well as we both looked around the tank looking for things we haven't seen for some time, my husband then saw something very strange and hairy looking wedged very tightly in some rocks..... very confused to what it was and a little disturbed as this hairy thing started moving.... it finally showed itself.... about 2 - 2.5 inches in size we realized we had a hitch hiker gorilla crab!! It dawned on me that over the last couple of months I've noticed my snails and hermit crabs were disappearing, but never thought anything of it and kept replacing them with more snails and hermit crabs (stupid mistake I know) .... so now that we've found this thing we want it out! I'm worried because of its size it's going to start going after my fish, my flame angle hides right under it in her little cave and my six line a couple of inches away in his little hiding place.... we've made a bottle trap last night but no luck so far...... anyone have any tips or treats to get it out?
 
Not all hairy crabs are gorillas and not all gorillas are the same. Did you manage to catch a picture of the offender? That would help greatly in IDing him and more importantly, figuring out his favorite foods.
