How do I catch a Sally LIghtfoot Crab?

[coral acquisition]

Hey guys, I have a small tank. 12x12x12 and have 1 sally light foot crab in there. I think it's the one that killed my 2 peppermints. (I have 1 clown fish in the tank as well)

I want to catch the crab, is there a trap I can make for it?

DIY a plastic water bottle. Cut off the top portion and invert it. Glue, and stick a piece of shrimp/food in the bottle. Just search for it, lots of examples. Might also catch fish too.

Better if you knew where the crab's hole is, and just place the opening of the trap near their cave.

For crabs I have had good luck with a very smooth glass vase with a piece of shrimp or squid in the bottom of it lean it up against The Rock as advised above and wait for the crab to enter it is too smooth for them to climb out of

Reef_World, I tried it overnight and I didn't catch it. I actually don't need to catch it now since I was going to give it to a friend but he doesn't want it anymore. So all good.
