Help Need to catch a Crab

[shibumi]

I have a crab that is eating my Yellow Gorgonia.

How do I catch him?

I already have the rock where he is hidding but he is inside of it and I dont know how to make him to get out.

The rock have green mushrooms and I have them in a plastic container with water.

Help ... How do I make him to get out?

well to get a mantis shrimp out you take a turkey baster with freshwater and squirt it in his hole until he comes out, so I guess this would work for him too. do it over a bowl of salt water though so that when he falls out he wont die. I'm a neb so I would get a second opinion though lol.

Put a fish net in the tank with a piece of shrimp tied inside with thread. The crab will come out to dine and he's all yours.

good idea.

I have put shrimp, or some other food in a clean glass with it leaning near its home. When it eventually goes in to get the food, the slick walls of the glass won't let him out (or he shouldn't be able to crawl out).

You may catch many other things first especially snails, but keep at it. This doesn't work all the time, but it's worth a shot.
