I am trying to get rid of some unwanted crabs that were hitchhikers.
(actualy thats sounds pretty funny)If I do a hypo dip, will I actualy kill anything or do they just come running out? Will the pods come out? How long will they survive in the hypo solution until I can get them back in the regular water?

I would worry about a freshwater dip, I think it could potentially do a lot of damage, you could try to shoot some water into the nooks and crannies where the crabs could be hiding that way you aren't putting all your rock in the freshwater. I am sure a short freshwater dip would be fine, but it probably wouldn't make the crabs come out. Sorry I wish I had a better suggestion.

maybe I said it wrong..is it hyper? not hypo?
high salinity dip..somewhere in the range of 1.03? I heard the critters dont like it.

yes that would be hyper, I have heard they are not very effective, but you can try it.
