Does anyone have plans . I need to catch a hitchiker that is eating all my snails. It is about 1.5" across. Fox face crab I believe.

put meat in a tall glass and place it near the crab house at night. Tie the bait to a small piece of rubble.

Then do NOT smash with a rock.

NO, certainly not - that would be terrible.

Once you've caught it, put the entire glass in the freezer overnight.

I want to put it into the sump to keep it clean. Will need to put some LR and light in there though
