you could always place a bottle trap in there with some food just before lights out. by morning you should have an assortment of crabs in there. Pick out the good ones re-home the bad.

I have done this once or twice and haven't ever had a problem with them eating/fighting one another. Mine were all pretty tiny though

+1 on a trap. Failing that, do as I did and shirts of dive in to that tank and rout that SOB out before he starts eating your prized live stock.

Thanks for the help. Looks like I'm going snorkeling! He's a fast little bugger so if I have to get in there, I'll probably have to tear it right down. I knew I should have at least done the bottle trap last night because now I can't see my Peppermint Shrimp! Hopeful thinking I suppose, but he's in for it now. Thanks again!
