    I've got an algae scraper sitting in front of me, made with random plastic and chopsticks lol.

    I do guess that what I was thinking would be more of a basket than a bucket, though.

    have you tried cutting the cop-stick up? Meaning, cut a section of it, then cut slacks vertically for the crab to get a hold of himself. Maybe he can get himself out this way. Then just stick the chopstick at an angle through the hole and wait to see if he can get out.

    I'm not sure this will work, but it's worth a try. I have some hermits that will climb up my mangroves, so maybe this crab can climb up the stick.

    That sounds like a good Idea I'll try to get him out. I can' t tell if he is alive :( I think he might have passed already I didn't notice his absence for a bit ....
