Ok, I have these two Gorilla Crabs in my tank that are driving me crazy, at first they stood in a rock but now they are growing and i caught one trying to rip up some fire and ice zoos I just got. When I tried to catch him with a pair of tweezers he fought back and ran under the rock. Anyone know how to get rid of these guys without taking out the rock.

It's fun at first but when the hitchhiker turns out to be bad your like ohh no, check every rock of coral for HH, cause I found about 3 sundial snails, very bad, 2 gorilla crabs very bad, colorful fan worms very good, 1" bristle worm good, stung the S*** out of me, tiny brittle stars, and my new HH i think is a christmas tree worm,

where are you getting your rock with all of these hhers? Sounds like a really common thing no matter where the rock comes from?

Sorry! This is supposed to be about Gorilla Crabs!
