Not sure how to catch one other than grabbing when seen. What's the problem that makes you want to remove it?

Glass Glass Trap is easy! Perfect for emeralds. Set trap at night. Place glass where the crab hangs out.

I play with my emerald every other day
i wrestle with it for fun and here is how you can use it to your advantage,
drop some food into the tank to get the other fish busy, take a stick put some nori on it and have it secured with a rubber band or something, lower the stick in next to the crab, if he is Hungry he will try to get it off the stick, let some nori hang hand down a bit, as soon as he grabs he wont let go, lift the stick slowly as he will continue to grab hold of it for a little, you can lift him of at least 5-6 inches b4 he lets go, when you have him raised enough just slide a net under him and case closed
