A month ago I got some beautiful Florida live rock. I got a bit unlucky and got an undesirable hitchhiker. I'm been trying to remove a mantis shrimp with no luck. He has killed two of my fish. Happen to walk by my tank today and caught him on top of the one of my blue reef chromis. I banged on the glass and he scurried under the rock work with the fish in his grips. Jerk!
I have tried the plastic bottle trick the last 4 nights with no luck. I been putting it outside his home and baiting it with table shrimp (catch 4-7 snails ever night.)
Removal of the rock is not possible cause he's not living in the rock. I only ever see him at the very bottom of my rock structure in the sand .
Any suggestions? I'm going to continue the plastic bottle trap, is there maybe any bait you can suggest that they love? Anything else I could try?
