Bad crab...let the hunt begin.I just lucked out this weekend. I have been seeing and unsuccessfully trying to catch a rather large, all black, hairy SOB crab for about three months. A canreefer came over to look at a couple frags I had and wanted a frag of my green cap which wasnt yet fragged. As I picked the rock up the crab scurried across the rock and I quickly yanked the whole rock out. The crab fell off the rock just as it crossed to the outside of the tank. You would have thought I had just won the lottery, I was sooo happy. I told buddy he made my day by coming over and gave him a wicked deal on what he took. The crab and a large blue knuckled hermit that has killed three mexican turbo snails in as many weeks ended up at the shop and I wont say what ended up happening to them

I have had lots of practice hunting for crabs. what I find has worked best for me is I went to princess auto and picked up a 12 inch long pair of forceps they will be able to lock on to the crab as the little buggers can hold on to the rock like you wouldnt imagine. I wait till all the lights are out in the tank and the room is dark then have a look around with my trusty flash light with the red lens. I have pull many crabs from my tank with this method.
Come to think of it it is about time I go on a crab hunting expedition again Hope this helps and happy hunting
