Pesky crab!

[GoBigorGohome]

So I have a little crab that is persistent on messing with corals I'm not sure if he is eating them or not but they are brand new frags and I am scared he is going to eat them or kill them even what should I do with this little pest? I have two and it's just one that keeps messing with them wierd I think ! ( I'm new to the hobby )

Do you have a pic? Maybe we can ID it.

Black pinscers are a bad sign!

Make a crab trap out of a 20 oz. soda bottle. Cut the top off right below the taper flip it over and shove it back in. Drop a chunk of shrimp in there, put it next to it's hideout over night. Might take a couple of nights but it worked for me.

Some crabs are not so smart that you need a trap. I had three hermit crabs that came in with the live rock that I did not want in the display. The first two I just picked off the rocks and put in the sump but could not find the third. One afternoon before I fed the tank I put some food in the front corner on the sand. Came back five minutes later and there was the missing hermit munching away until I reached in and picked him up.

Baby food jar upside down works to. Just put next to the rock. They can't get out.
