This morning around 5 am i was looking in the tank and finaly saw the EVIL crab again. Ive heard that big claws, hair and or red eyes constitute an evil crab. Well this sucker was about the size of a silver dollar and had all three of those attributes. The creature was pearched on a rock near my green Zoos, fully exposed. I wasted no time grabed the later and a fork off of the kitchen table and skewered the sucker. It took two tries but he was stuck and is no longer a problem to my Zoos(which he was eating)

It was early and dark so none of the pics came out. The cats loved to play with the crab for about 2 min before they ate it.

I win!!!!

Nice, uh... satisfying way to catch a pest...

I got a little crab that I have to get out of my tank once I do the changeover... he's still only slightly bigger than a nickel, so he's not too much of a problem yet... he can join my hairy rock crab in the sump.

I'm sure Witfull will chime in on this thread.

Congrats on your victory! To make it more fair, you should've given the crab a skewer or something

Discouraging when things go wrong-but the thrill of setting them right is amazing!
