    How do I catch Small Hitchhiker Crabs?

    Hi, I have a problem with small hitchhiker crabs on my new liverock. They have nearly decimated a large population of pods. The are nickle to quarter sized, with one large claw. Their color is brown and white. What kind of trap can I use to catch these little crabs, what kind of bait would you recommend as well. I want to wage war with these buggers tonight. Thanks for any ideas!!

    The wind blew, the **** flew and then they came two by two.

    Can't you just reach in and grab them? all crabs I have move awfully slow. Or go in with a large (> 1 inch) tube, position it over the snail then suck on it to start the suction. You'll suck it up in no time, just be careful, you will get a lot of water!!!

    Good luck
