Ryanhdd Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Ok so i hate this crab he is eating all my little hermits and snails. how do i capture him and ban him to my frag tank. What has worked for you? Link to comment
seahorsejl Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Nothing has worked for me My sally is way to smart! I put a half of a soda bottle (leaned against the rock work) in there with shrimp at the bottom, hoping it would fall in. Found the sally later that day with the shrimp in it's greedy claws, and a few hermit crabs in the bottom of the bottle! Link to comment

seahorsejl Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Sharp Stick = Sally Lightfoot Kabob Funny you should mention that ... my wife actually tried that! She got mad at the crab because it caught one of the yellow clown gobies overnight, and then sat there eating the head of it in front of her. But alas, she could never "kabob" it Link to comment
Ryanhdd Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yeah i thought about just trying to stab him but i dont want to kill it. Its a good crab except for its appetite for my cuc. He will take shrimp from tongs and i tried to grab him but it did not work, probably bc i dont want to hurt it. But maybe i should just snag it. We will see. Link to comment
dshnarw Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Good luck - there was one in the 12g setup I'd bought. I had to take all the rock and all but a couple of inches of water out before I caught the stupid thing. He was traded to the LFS before I even had the tank put back together. Link to comment
vike50brian Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yeah, good luck. I had to remove all but one rock in my 24g nano-cube before I caught my little terror. Link to comment
seahorsejl Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Post back to this thread if you find something that works (other than totally disassembling the tank). My sally light foot caught one of my new white porcelain crabs last night right after it molted Link to comment
tweekerz Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I got extremely lucky that the little jerk crawled into the overflow (2nd chamber) of my biocube 14g. He's been in there for a week. Link to comment
