Okay… not that anyone cares but I am so happy I could just burst. I’ve been dealing with a huge gorilla crab for several weeks. I think it’s the one that’s been taking chunks off my SPS. I was able to catch him today!!!!! And no, I didn’t put him in my sump. He’s huge and terrifying and I didn’t want to get bitten when cleaning out the sump so he’s no longer with us. Sounds horrible but man he was a beast.
Ding dong the wicked gorilla crab witch is dead!

DId you get a pic of it before ..... well... before
I had Crabzilla who became my friend after trying to get him for months. I put him in the fuge and I'm always afraid to lose a finger when I harvest my Chaeto.

I just hope the Mortal Combat voice popped into your head at some point, “FINISH HIM!”
I was actually pretty terrified. He was incredibly strong. I caught him with the tweezers and he managed to break free multiple times and finally I was able to pick him up by one of his pincers. We’ve done this dance a few times already. My three year old was running around so I just ran outside and crushed him before even thinking about taking a picture. He had done a good amount of damage. 8-9 of my frags are missing entire branches because of him.DId you get a pic of it before ..... well... before

Ok. Now I’m just picturing American History X.
Oh wow! Mine must have been about the same size I think. White with the black claws and all the fuzziness. I caught another one yesterday that is now in my sump. Much smaller though.This was my moby dick until a baited propped up stemless wine glass ended his reign of terror. Goes nice with a little butter and garlic.
That movie is just horrifying.
I think I like your trap though. Going to buy a set of those and have them ready to go.This was my moby dick until a baited propped up stemless wine glass ended his reign of terror. Goes nice with a little butter and garlic.
Yeah, normally people use shot glasses. But my boy had some girth to him. Woulda walked right out of a shot glass.
Yours is legit scary. This one is bigger than it looks in that pic. That is a bourbon glass - much larger than a shot glass but a bit smaller than your stemless wine glass!That looks like my guy’s son or daughter.
Yeah it looks leggy. Just not as buff as my guy. Needed to hit the crab gym.
