Hi, I just spotted a gorilla crab in my tank, pretty sure I've ID'd it correctly - half an inch, brown/gray-ish, fuzzy. Sucker slipped out of my thongs when I had the chance.
Does anyone have any experience on how to Steve Irwin him somehow? I've seen tips on how to make bottle traps and glass traps with frozen shrimp as bait, do they work?
I really want to avoid dismantling the rock scape and do the coral logistics.
Thank you for any tips!
 
This is the method I’ve heard about most and people seem to be successful using it.
