Red Claw Crab Attacking Tire track eel

[fisheyyyyy44]

I just added a tire track eel to my 10 gal tank with a baby Green terror. YES i know that they will need a bigger tank! i have a 75 gal. Being cycled as we speek. Anyway the Crab is being a little Sh*t and will walk around the tank trying to pinch the poor eel. The green terror nibbled on him once and has left him alone ever since. But the little crab is being such a dick. ANy way to fix the problem? and any ideas for a full hiding place for the eel? because his only place to hide is underneath a peice of driftwood used as the center peice of the aquarium. Is this territorial behavior by the crab or what?

Tiretrack eels get over 3 feet long. A 75g will have to be very short term.

Also red claw crabs need to have access to land. They are not fully aquatic.

You could make a makeshift divider so the crab gets separated on its own
