That can backfire. I did that years ago with a Niger. I guess the crab didn't like being eaten (go figure) and got a claw in the trigger's mouth. Trigger bit off the arm, but claw was pinched firmly in the trigger's cheek. I had to catch the trigger, wrap him in a wet towel and cut the crab claw out if his mouth. Not fun.

That would suck, poor trigger

I'm not sure what kind of trap it is...but it is a store bought one (for all the good it has done).

I was thinking about picking up a large mantis and letting it get rid of the crab. Then maybe the mantis will be easier to catch. If I can't catch the mantis then maybe I'll have a 220gal mantis tank.

...of course I could then get an octopus! It could get rid of the mantis!

This sounds like a vicious combative and destructive circle! Why didn't I stick with a 40gal!!!!

.. Thanks for the laugh! What would you buy to get rid of the octopus?

Don't need anything. Just wait for the octopus to figure out a way to escape from the tank.
