Crabs/mushrooms

[ryansweet]

I have a neon green mushroom that rode in on a piece of LR into my FOWLR. I did not plan on having coral at this time but after a couple of days I have kind of grown attached to the little guy. I also have a rock crab that rode in on another piece of LR a few weeks before. Now my mushroom is getting torn apart! Can anyone provide me a few suggestions of how to get the crab out of there? His body is not even as big as a pencil eraser, but he has already cost me two small clowns and now is going to town on this coral.
Thanks for all your help!

You can buy or build a trap, or just put something tasty in the bottom of a glass jar. Make it easy to climb in, but too steep to climb out. If you put the rim against a piece of rock, he will climb in and then slide down the glass to the bottom.

Thank you very much!! It took about 2 minutes for that to work!
