Default Catching crabs

I thought it would be so awesome to put 2 sally light foot crabs in my tank. 👎
Bad idea. These thing will eat anything they will come across

I need to get them Out and am looking for ideas

Thanks

Try a smooth glass cup with some food/bait in the bottom up against some rocks. Supposedly they can go in, but not crawl back out because they have nothing to grip Never tried it, but the theory sounds solid.
