Wow!What a crab!!

I found what I think is a Xanthid crab about the size of a silver dollar in my tank! Didn't put it there!! Only had to remove about half of the rock to find it hiding in a big piece. Tried to trap it for a couple weeks. It's in my QT til I figure out what to do with it. It was chowing down on my snails!

Re: Wow!What a crab!!

Suspend the rock over a bucket with the crab's hole facing into the bucket. Then pour seltzer water over the rock. The bubbling of the seltzer sends the crab running out of the rock into the bucket below.
