Default Well look what I found.

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 .

Default trap

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 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
