    Question strange, strange, strange two dead crabs

    I have been trying to catch two crabs for the past 4 weeks, tried everything and i mean everything. From Traps to fishing with bait. The main reason is that I have two toadstool corals that continue to be munched on. I have never been able to catch the culprits in action, but the crabs seen the likely suspects.
    Well yesterday and today I have found two dead crabs, weird. Not sure if these are the ones I saw. But really strange, two dead crabs, one day after the next.

    sorry about the picture quality, best i can do
