Ok i have a big hairy crab in my tank , i have pulled half the tank apart tying to get it with no luck, only up set everything, he is knocking corals on top of one another and damaging them, any ideals please

@Susan Bates how did you go? I was thinking about it, you could use a bunch of things, a soft drink bottle, a plastic food container with a sheet of cling wrap or something over it held on by a rubber band, with a hole in the top... a piece of pvc pipe with one end closed and something to stop it going back up.... I hope you get it and then feed it to your fish and coral for dinner!
