Righty, it appears to me that what you have there is the rare Conch Eating Spider (I have forgotten the scientific name :? ). This species comes from a small area in the Atlantic off the coast of Fla.

Thanks guys!

What is the best way to get rid of them?

I would try one of the mantis traps baited with a small conch or possibly just an empty conch shell. From my reading, the Arachnaconch comidus hunts through visual cues and may not notice that the conch shell is empty.

I hear kalk paste is a good way to get rid of them. That and peppermint shrimp will eat them.

-I was reading on another board where the pepperment shrimp are good to use if you can keep them from getting caught up in the web, have you read this Ernie, anyone??

A sure way to kill them is tank them out and use a syringe and force-feed the kalk paste to them. Put the syringe between the mandibles and use high pressure to squirt the paste into them. If they eat enough of it they will surely die. :lol: :lol:

Take it out and stomp on it

I wouldn't do that. See this thread: Why you should never joke about stomping on living things
