![]() How do I catch the crab? It is very fast and hides in the rock.

![]() I just picked up a rock from a fellow reefer and gave it a fresh water dip and a crab came right out. Am I ever glad I did that as I think it would have eaten my pipefish for lunch!

![]() i have had no hitchhickers in my tank as of yet outside of bristleworms can i just manually remove these? but i find if your willing to spend some time eyeballing it will come out late at night as i find all my inverts (shrimp hermits sallly lightfoot and porcelin ) come out in the early hours of the night 1-3 am . i have also found they will chase a semi floating pellet.
Not much help im sure but might be worth a try before you tear down your rock struckture. maybe try tying down some frozen food this is a FOWLR tank? so you wouldnt have any scavengers picking at it . and may draw the crab out into the open.

![]() Does it look like this?
![]() If you know which rock he hides in, then remove that specific rock and force him out with skewers. |
