Heathd

So how did you catch him?

He offered him a tall drink, it seems. hehe

One of the thing I love about this hobby is the wheres wado aspect of finding thing good and bad that just seem to pop up over time. Nice hunting you sure bagged a nasty looking critter

Well, I pulled a majority of my rock and corals. Then, I chased him with tweezers, which seemed moot because he was much faster then me.

So, I got a long bamboo skewer, cut the sharp end off, and then pinned his carapice down with the skewer and pushed him into the glass. Then, I took the tweezers, grabbed him, and shoved him in the glass.

A gorgeous looking crab, too bad it was causing problems.

I just pulled one out of my tank today as well. They are all over the place here in Okinawa so when you get LR straight from the ocean you get some cool hitchhikers. He is now happily residing in my sump.

i had that same problem a few years ago with getting out a Stone Crab! i got it with other matrix crabs! i thought it was funny when it burrowed it self into the sand when i put it in!?

PITA!
