Jetdrvr - Crabs are opportunistic feederf, if it can get its claws on flesh its a sure bet it will eat it. However it isnt very likely that a crab is catching your fish and eating them. How long were the fish in your tank before the vanished? What kinds of fish do you have in there and what kinds were dieing, perhaps they were being killed by another fish and eaten by the crabs...

Chris - next time you bate the crab try putting the meat in a net so that he has to crawl into the net to get the meat, then just pull it out. But as I told Jet, I doubt a crab can catch a live, healthy fish. Something must have happened to the fish first...injured by another fish or it was sick...something.
