Default Crab/shrimp trap

Hey does anyone have a crab or shrimp trap I can buy or borrow, I can hear clicking at night so I may have a mantis and I know for sure I have a huge hitch hiker crab thats eating my snails.

they are pretty easy to make, what i did is took a margerine container cut an X on the lid but some food in it, tied some fishing line to it and set it in my tank when the lights went out (i turned them off a little early) and then about 3 hours later when the room was dark i saw things crawling around and when i spied it go into the container lifted up the line and it was caught

hope that helps
kris

When I first set up my tank I foolishly brought home a "reef lobster". I am tired of this guy killing anything that moves. He's gotta go.

Would this technique work?
