Any reef safe predators of gorilla crabs?

[razord]

I'm slowly getting rid of a ton of gorilla crabs that came in my LR by I know there's more still. Is there anything I can buy that would speed along the process (without being a problem itself)? Just curious

I don't think so... Manual labor is probably your best bet. Put it this way, how many fish out there can just demolish these crabs with their jaws? Reef safe?

Figured as much, but couldn't hurt to ask.

Yeah, I've had the pleasure of owning a few over the years. I'll probably pass

Man Mantis shrimo are fun as all heck to watch though. a buddy of mine had one of the spearing type, and it was gruesome to watch him get fed.

Not going to happen. Although I knew of someone who had one in a 200g oceanic tank some 20 years ago and it never touched a coral. It was well fed though.

I would not try it.

I don't want to try it in my 265 either. Too hard to take out if it goes rouge

So last night I found, what appeared to be, a severed gorilla crab claw (a good size) in the open area. Maybe I do have a mantis roaming?
