How to catch a Coral Banded Shrimp

[luet0023]

Anyone has suggestions on how to catch a coral banded shrimp? He killed my Sea Hare and is now harassing my Mandarin Goby. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I dont really want to have to tare down the rockwork.

You can try to bait him into a trap. I tried many times and failed. When we transferred tanks, I finally got him out.

Mine is dumber than a bag of rocks, I coaxed him into a corner, distracted with one hand and scooped with a pitcher from behind.

I agree with CMBECKER but if you want to have some fun while doing it. Put a big glob of superglue gel on decent size piece of rubble. Mine always gets one of it's small pinchers stuck to things I glue.

Yeah, he likes to come out in the early morning with the lights still off, I will probably try to entice him with some food then.
