I bought it on a spur thing looking at it was so cool. It's about two or 3 inches wide and the identifying features I think are two yellow eyes and a flapper thing in between them. It's large 3 to 4 inches diameter. I'm concerned it's not coming out with my BTA and I might need to move it to a different tank. Not sure how I would trap it.

actually, the peppermint shrimp have been aggravating my BTA and I'm definitely gonna be doing the plastic bottle trap tonight. Any shrimp dumb enough to walk in to the trap and not be able to walk out deserves to be trapped. Those peppermints were great in that they eliminated all aptoids. But their pests.
