For the past few months I have noticed some acro damage at night. I had no idea what it was. Until I saw this.!!!!!!!!! I put the trap in and caught him in a few hours

I thought he might be the cause. but while I had him in custody I noticed more vandalism.

Anyone want a crab .

Can I ask where you got the trap and will it catch a lobster?

Thanks

Nice catch!
I have a feeling I have one of his friends in my 120 - I keep seeing Giant molted crab claws (like 1/2"+)

I couldn't belive how big she was. All the hours I have spent looking at my tank and I didnt see it sooner.

I got the trap from Ocean Aquatics. It should be able to catch a lobster

Wow crazy!! I had one of those in my tank a few years ago. Scared the crap out of me when I saw this giant claw one day. Turned out he wasn't the one doing the damage either :neutral:

What is the name of that trap?
I looked at J&L and could not find yours under "trap"
I too have a crab that needs to go
Thanks

It doesn’t look like an acro-crab to me.
The fact that you managed catch it using meaty food re assures it.
Don’t you think?

No, I knew it wasn't an acro crab. But I thought he might be going after some of my good acro crabs or fish. It does have the claws to do alot of damage.

That thing is insane. I can't believe you didn't see it sooner too!
