Help Sally light foot

[HORTON16]

I am pissed off right now. My LFS wont come help me get the crab. I told the guy I will pay him to send a service person to my house to help catch it but he said they are too busy I told him even next week just whenever but he said they are too busy.
I really don't know what to do. I want to have a reef tank but why buy more coral if the damn SLF eats it all?

i'd try the trap method like the other guys stated, other than that you can try and watch where he goes, then take that rock and and use the SILAMF'er method

I cant do the bottle because he is always on live rock.

He is hiding all the time when he is not attacking the zoas.

I see him right now on a rock but how the hell do i get him out?

Don't seem to have pic anymore...was long ago.

But was squat little brown fuzzy thing that liked to hide out in rock crevices. About same size as you mention.

Very destructive. Tore up some of my soft corals...killed a watchman goby and completely shredded up feather dusters.

If that is what you have, get it the heck out of tank ASAP


Good Luck.

(Like I stated above, took a good deal of patience and perseverance - but when I am on a "mission" I am very tenacious to put it mildly.)

Take the rock out... Shake It Like a MF'er hence the acronym used before

once he's out do with him as you choose, personally i prefer the toss in a nano with a mantis method

I have a net in the tank and the F'er is right by the net. When the moment is right he is outa there

[HORTON16]

AHHH


He was on the net i grabbed the net and he moved

toss some food in the net and stand there with your hand near it. he may get used to you being there and go close enough to nab
