I found this guy embedded into one of my corals.
She has a sack of eggs under her. I have a feeling there is at least another one in my tank.
What is the best way to find/catch these guys? The tank is in my warehouse and i am not there at night
Maybe a stake out is in order.

I've seen some people put brine shrimp in a jar, seal it with a lid, drop it in your tank and unseal the lid so the food doesn't fall out, and wait for the crabs to go in. Make sure you put it next to a rock.

I noticed a new cave in front of tank under the rock. Shined a flashlight in there and he was lookin at me. Got a pair of tweezers and pulled it out. Mine was wicked hairy and looked just like donkey kong lol.
