Any good tricks for getting out a Crab?

[untamed]

Put some food in the bottom of a tall glass and lean the glass with the open end tilted upward toward the place the crab hangs out. It should not take too long before the crab slides down into the glass to get the food and can't crawl out because the glass is too slippery.

if you can get the piece out, hit the crab with fresh water, that has worked for me

Just got one out myself last night I had been hunting for. I was lucky enough to catch him in an acro so I pulled the colony out and stabbed the bugger with a turkey skewer. It was very satisfying!
