I've made a couple of posts since last night regarding critters coming out of the live rock. Well I saw this crab, it's as big around as a tangerine. I took all the live rock out of the one side of tank where I spotted it and it somehow got away, or hid in the rock. What do I do. It's gonna get hungry!!! <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" />

One chance you have is to make a crab trap out of a plastic coke bottle. By cutting the top section off where the funnel shape ends you can turn that part inside out and put into the bottom half. insert bait and place near where you think he is at night. You can use bait shrimp or squid for bait is you can get it. I have cought several crabs using this cheap device. sometimes it takes several nights. They can get in but not out ... works like a trap they use in the gulf...Good fishing.

There are different size coke bottles and you can modify the size of the top...but start small so he will not be able to get out.. also you can place some sand in the bottom to weight it down and lean on the rocks to make it harder to get out. good luck...
