fuzzy crab needs to go-how to catch?
I put some new rock in a week or so ago, then i noticed something move really fast and go into hiding one day. i just saw it this morning, pinching the shell of one of my blue leg hermits! I know that hairy crabs are bad (in your tank and other places
 ) but i am not sure if there is a way to catch them. Any one have any tips?

Baited shot glass at 45 degrees. Place a shot glass at bottom against some rock so he can crawl in. Once the crab is in he cannot climb out. Hermits "fall" for this at once so do just before lights out near where you think he hides.

Baited shot glass method works. I used it a couple of weeks ago and caught a gorilla crab. A little twist is that I put in a glass jar to contain all my hermit crabs in it so that they won't go into the baited shot glass.

you can pull the rock out and squirt soda water into the holes and it may chase him out.
