Hi
I have a nasty little white crab in my tank. He set up home in my ##### coral and killed it. Then this morning I came down and he had dug a hole and settled in the stem of the elephants ear. I flicked it off stupidly instead of catching it.
What can I do with it? i need to get it out but feel bad killing it and my tank is a nano so dont know where else to put it?
TIA

Burn it with fire! The crab dies or hundreds of dollars of coral dies

if it's eating coral, flush it. if you care about its life a lot, put it in a sump/fuge or give it to someone who has one.

yea sadly a sump or fuge would be your only option of keeping it alive

Other then that it might have to "accidently" fall out of the tank somehow. You have to many nice corals and mushrooms to let a crab kill em off

humane killing = put in bag and smash quickly with a hammer.
