So far i've caught both my fireshrimps, several hermits and my emerald crab (three times) with this but the sally is still evading me 
I will catch him soon though (I refuse to be outsmarted by a crab  )
Also have a plan B. My LFS told me that the only way he caught his sally was by spotting the hole in the LR that he hid in and then stabbing it repeatedly with a chopstick  |
I had same problem with a gorilla crab that hitched in with some LR from Florida. (small, brown, fuzzy, very destructive)
Took allot of patience to catch him with a small crab trap I made after design of my large trap hanging out in garage.
Used small square piece of bridel veil mesh, each corner tied with some fishing line. Baited it with a small piece of some "aged" shrimp...and then just waited till he showed up to eat. finally got the little SOB (and his brother)...both now sharing space somewhere in my freezer.
Good luck with whatever method you use.
