Unwanted crabs...?

[Jenn_737700]

So I have this 10g nano reef, and its all cycled and everything, but I have some crabs. A teddybear crab which is only about half an inch, im not too worried. But this other brown one is an inch and a half ( a hitchhiker crab? ) I caught it with a net. But im not sure what to do with it? I know it sounds dumb, but, like do I flush it? what do I do? also, how do I get rid of a bristleworm?

Thanks for your help

I give my bristleworms a taste of freshwater as they go down the toilet (I HATE them all) The unwanted crab could suffer the same fate, I would consider giving it away first though.

I'm trying really hard to find some bristleworms for my tank, not sure why you'd want to get rid of them. As for crabs, I leave mine alone until I catch them doing something bad.

Everyone seems to be drinking the bristleworm haterade latley , i have hundereds in my 15 gal nano they come out of everywhere , the rocks ,the sand , and honestly the tank has never been so clean .Any leftover food is gone in minutes , and they dont bother my corals or fish .Granted if they get big they get REALLY creepy but i wouldent worry about the little ones , and besides if theres one there are probably many , many , more .

I wonder why I spend a lot of time saving bristle worms from being flushed down the drain every time I clean my tank. I don't really see a reason why one would take those guys out.

Thanks everyone yeah ill probably leave the worms alone and see if anyone wants the crab.

Ask around in your area to see if anyone has an octopus or mantis shrimp that they could feed the crab to. That would be the best way to get rid of it in my opinion... Most bristle worms are harmless. Innocent until proven guilty.
