Sally Lightfoot crab killing my fish!!!

[BioMan]

Anybody had this experience, tried quick search and didn't find much.. I was wondering whats been happening to my fish, I've been doing massive water changes, had my water tested more than one place, after lights out I caught him in action. didn't catch him though...

Ive heard of this before.
Good luck catching it. Try a soda bottle (2 l). Google it.

I just caught him! his kill list went Goby, Chevron Tang, Kole Tang and he's prob the reason my Clown Tang jumped out the tank yesterday. He does this crap at night. dirtbag didn't even clean that much algae, the powder brown tang I got today ate the patch I originally got the crab for in the first place!!!

I had the same horrible experience
I saw the crab pulling my helfrichi firefish and killing it , all my small fish were disappearing

I hate crabs, damn scavengers! I had a huge stone crab in my system for 2 years before i caught him but ill never forget the night I did lol
