Hello all,

I bought a Pom Pom crab a few months ago.
After introducing, I have never seen it since.

I have a big aiptasia invasion in my tank. I have bought nine Berghia Nudibranch to help with aiptasia problem.
Two weeks ago, I counted twenty Berghias during the night, I was thinking it’s a good sign, they reproduce.
Every two to three days I try to check my tank with led light at night. Every time I do it, I see less and less berghias.

Tonight, I noticed my Pom Pom crab eating one of the Berghias. This may be a cause of berghia dissapearing.


Do you have any ideas how can I catch my Pom Pom crab and place it in different tank?


Thank you in advance,
Rayn

i’d say the easiest way is to wait until night time and when he comes up grab him with some tweezers

Thank you for reply.

It seems almost impossible. It is a first time I have seen this crab. I have never seen it before - I check my tank at night regularly for a month.
It has quickly hidden under rocks straight after I have pointed my led light on it.
I was thinking about a kind of trap we use to catch fishes, do they exist?
