Bad seed

Found a peppermint shrimp having a feast on one of my very healthy Blasto's about 5am today. Some of my Blasto's looked stresses lately and I'm confident I found the culprit.

How in the heck can I get these shrimp out??

They did the job and ate my aptasia, or at least keeping it under control but they can't be chewing on my blasto's.

You can try waiting a few hours after you turn out the light for the night. Ours tend to explore the top of the corals at night. Just don't use to much light to see them as they will go back to hiding.

Do they come up to your hand when your in the tank? Mine always did. I'd get some food and a net or container and just get them while you're hand feeding them.

just get a wtaer,soda or gatoraid bottle and make a couple of them,,very cheap,,bait it and weight it down,,keep an eye on it ,,possibly shrimp can go back out of inlet,,starve tank for a day or two if needed..
dont cut the threaded spout off of your trap..

Thanks, I went with this bottle method with a little reef roids inside. Caught all 6 shrimp in 30 minutes lol
