Small glass or jar with some bait in it against a rock overnight.
Most crabs are bad.  Better take it out if you can.

Small piece of shrimp or fish and put a rubber band tied to a small rock so it does not float away. Put it in at night when your fish are sleeping.

Be prepared for frustration the likes of which you've never seen! I tried traps and one night got so fed up I sat there with a big knife in the water just above his rock for what must have been more than an hour. Left a piece of shrimp just under the knife. Stabbing a glass tank with a knife. SMART.
I'm sure my hand stunk more than the shrimp. I never caught the devil but I had a nice surprise one day when he just died on his own. This is of little help to you but good luck!

Octopus but that will give you a whole other set of problems.
I have had good luck with the jar try that first or try to pull out the one rock he is hiding in.
