I FINALLY GOT IT :)
 

After a long and tiring battle for about a week, I was loosing some and winning some but I got my victory at last :) wahahaha lol

any suggestions what I can do with this guy feel sorry to kill him lol.

holy cow that thing is massive evil. i'd buy a mantis for the thing =)

Pan fry them in butter with a little garlic. They Are delicious......:lol:

I think my peacock mantis needs a new tank mate, and he fits in perfectly.

I don't think I will be eating this thing. anyone interested to take him for his mentis in the Edmonton area and let nature take its course lol.

Thats one big a$$ crab, you must have some huge hiding spots in your rock...

yea I do, I guess its been there for about 2 years without showing himself. that's why when I set my 230G I will be starting from dry rocks. No more buying live rocks.

What sort of damage was he causing? Just curious :-)

You can always just toss him in the sump and let him clean up detritus down there...

when I first saw him he was munching on my sps coral, which its fragged now lol and couple of days ago I lost my candy apple cane frag. so not a lot but I am glad I saw him before it was too late.

Use the rocks that you already have and then buy dry rock for the rest. This is a good way to seed the new rock, and be pest free. That's assuming of course that your existing rock is now pest free.

Nicely done Abe!!! If you cant find a place for him, I have multiple sumps at the store he can call home!

Steve

Definitely donate him to someone that has a crab muncher or a sump. I wouldn't let that thing anywhere near my system again! Good catch!!:biggrin:

why are evil crabs automatically male?? i would think it shows more female characteristics lol :):) just sayin is all ...giving us dudes a bad rep;)

So i gotta ask, how did you end up catching him? They can be a pain.

That's a gnarly lookin little beast! Glad to hear you caught him.

or possible her lol

Toss it on the floor and squash it!

lol the only reason I said him because didn't get in trouble:redface: anyway I woke up today and he was a gonner. I think he commeted suicide. ooops :biggrin:
