Hello all,

I bought a Pom Pom crab a few months ago.
After introducing, I have never seen it since.

I have a big aiptasia invasion in my tank. I have bought nine Berghia Nudibranch to help with aiptasia problem.
Two weeks ago, I counted twenty Berghias during the night, I was thinking it’s a good sign, they reproduce.
Every two to three days I try to check my tank with led light at night. Every time I do it, I see less and less berghias.

Tonight, I noticed my Pom Pom crab eating one of the Berghias. This may be a cause of berghia dissapearing.


Do you have any ideas how can I catch my Pom Pom crab and place it in different tank?


Thank you in advance,
Rayn
 
Thank you for reply.

It seems almost impossible. It is a first time I have seen this crab. I have never seen it before - I check my tank at night regularly for a month.
It has quickly hidden under rocks straight after I have pointed my led light on it.
I was thinking about a kind of trap we use to catch fishes, do they exist?
