funny you should say that. ^
i was just setting my traps for the night and i must have spooked him out of his hideout. He was just barely visible and i attempted to skewer him, but missed and kinda flicked him out into the open. After that it was just a little scoop with the net and i had him :)

Wouldn't hurt to leave a glass in for a couple days, just in case you have more you're not aware of
I used a piece of uncooked shrimp and got one crab the first night, but the other crab took a couple days. I guess #2 preferred the rotting shrimp over fresh :smile:

Congrats! Looks similar to one I caught in my tank.

Good job. I'm still on the hunt for my gang of crabs. Can't believe I have 3 to trap. Anyone ever use 25 % vinegar to 75 % water mix to dip the live rock to get the pests out?

If you know their hidy hole you could throw some soda water on the rock.
Apparently the dissolved CO2 is not appreciated and they will come out.
