Recently I got a Torch Coral. and a zoa colony. one night notice that I got a crab with hairy legs. I think it is a gorilla crab. been checking this critter out online. Really bad. How do you get these critter out without destroying the tank???? Please help it just ate one of my torch coral head and completely turned over my rics.

Please help please.

alot of people will say to use a trap. I have never had succes with traps. Only guarantee is to take the rock out that it is hidding in and get it out. Are you sure it is the culprit and not a decorator crab?

its legs are hairy and the claw has a black tip.

I had to take my tank apart to get one that came in on my rock...could never catch or skewer...

Good luck!

I recently pulled one out of my tank. I put a cube of mysis in a water bottle and put the opening of the water bottle near its home. Walked right into it.
