I have a little bugger in my tank I cannot get out either. I have baited a small test tube that was put up right against his hole and all he does is go about a claws length in then thats it.
:evil:

:snipersm:

If I happen to be in town when you catch him I will take the crab. Personally though I wouldn't stress too much over it unless you are certain he is munching on corals or eating small fish and such.

i have the same crab in a 10g alone, he eats my prime reef

I keep finding dead hermit crabs. So I am pretty confident that its this crab.

I keep finding hermit crab parts as well so I'm on the hunt to get him out.

I can't believe an emerald crab can eat that much coraline to be a problem. I have 3 of them and a fare sized black spiney urchin that mows coraline. Still too much coraline here. If you want, I'll bring you slices of coraline and we can attach it to your rocks :biggrin:

How about trying differant bait and location of trap first. Seems easier to me.

Still no luck on the trap. Any suggestions on bait?
