    That's hermits for you, they get into spots they can't get out of.

    Try moving the intake up a little or using the included guard.

    Oooo yeah, completely forgot about the intake guard, I'm sure I have a few lying around. Thanks for the reminder, I'll throw one on for sure. And I so far no luck with catching unwanted crabs. I added two red mithrax crabs that have been wreaking havoc on some LPS and softies. I didn't rely on the powerhead to catch those guys, just my hands:p
