steelhead77 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Have any fish gone missing lately? Hairy legs and claws like that, he is trouble. Get him out ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Have any fish gone missing lately? Hairy legs and claws like that' date=' he is trouble. Get him out ASAP.[/quote'] agrees, hairy is usually bad and it's always better safe then sorry. put him in the sump for now if you don't want to kill him.

Randy-S Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 pointed crab claws bad rounded claws not as bad i would remove it if it was in my tank.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Tip a glass up against some rock and put bait in the bottom. Crab should go in and not be able to climb out. Might take a few days but it should work. Then just let him live in the sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 If the trap does not work, go with the chemical way option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyInside Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'm going to try the cup with a prawn in it tonight and see what I get. I don't have a sump to put it in and my gf won't let me flush it so you can have him lol. But you also live in eugene so I'll probably drop him off at a LFS lol. Maybe they can feed it to something after my gf leaves lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
