Sorry to hear! It could have been worse, like your tank could have exploded!

For future reference, what I find works well is if I see a crab enter a cave I plug it up with epoxy

Catch the CRAB!!

I caught 3 a few weeks ago and 1 really big one that was eating all my stuff and knocking it all over every night.

i got a snail shell that he ate the snail out of stuffed shrimp in it tilted the glass against the rock and the next morning the big bugger was in the cup. Almost to big to fit in the cup but i got him the first try.

Alot of crabs we don't want are cunning scavengers, they will eat anything it can get including craps nem's and fish and inverts. Nem's can shrink down to a pretty good sized when attacked and fit in most any holes glad you killed him......KILL ALL CRABS!!!!

yeah lesson learned, hairy or not kill on sight. Anyway, this morning the anemone fell out of the whole and open up again. A little damage on the side but i think it will make it.

This is my second big crab that i killed. The first one i caught when moving the rock, he killed lots of my snails.
