SLF crab ate my CB shrimp. Help with removal.

After about 3 months in the tank together my SLF crab ate my female cb shrimp. I noticed today that is ALMOST got my male shrimp. I need to get this thing out of my tank so it doesnt kill anything else. Anyone got any ideas?

OK guys, I NEED some help. This crabs is a Houdini. He is very timid, and fast. Give me some ideas here. Is there some kind of trap I can buy?

At night my SLF runs along the glass. I feed my SLF and my shrimp with tongs. maybe you could try that and then net him.

At night mine hides and I have no clue where.

eveyr day for a week turn off your pumps, then drop some shrimp or clam or something out in the open of the tank. let it get used to this. then put your net in with the meat in it for a week. then snag it after it gets used to the net.

I guess this is what I will have to do. I watch this crab stalk my other cb shrimp every day. Hopefully I can get the crab out before another tragedy happens.
