maybe put some food in front of the rock it stays in, wait til it comes out then net it up.

flush the rock with freshwater. This should get the crab out...but it will kill bacteria and other organisms. You will have to recure the rock.

cheers guys i got it out with a small fresh water dip it didnt take long so im hoping that the lr and all its inhabitants will be ok

How do you recure rocks?????

 

[maeistero]

no need to recure the rock on a small freshwater dip. it should be fine unless you have some delicate stuff. using ro/di would've been the best way rather than tapwater, so i hope you did that.
