Not sure how this trap works.. I would remove cap (white) screw top as it appears to me the shrimp may walk in but it's backing out as it has nowhere else to go (the screwcap is basically a wall)

^I'd try this. I have an N. wennerae Mantis that I got on November 13th. and he pretty much immediately went after krill from forceps/long tweezers. Although he's still pretty reclusive and rarely, if ever, ventures fully out of the rockwork, if I wave a piece of krill with the tweezers he darts out, grabs the krill, and darts back into the rock with his catch. I would position the net near where he's hiding and leave the net alone for a while so he gets used to it. Then try baiting him with nearly anything you have on hand - a piece of krill, shrimp, clam, muscle, squid, mysis (mine takes all the above) - with the tweezers and see if you can't get him out and over the net, then in the net.Mine eats off tweezers and would be easy to setup a net underneath and catch it when it’s focused on the food. If the bottle doesn’t work that might be worth a shot.
Mysis and chunks of lrs, it took a few days for the mantis to trust the tweezers but it comes out anytime there in the tank now.
Here’s mine and it’s completely focused on the food, toss a net underneath and it basically catches itself lol.
That tiny? I could see a chiragra doing that maybe lolN. Wennerae
Also be really careful holding it in that container, I've had them break out of kritter carries if thats what that is.

He's adorable.
I have mine in a 5g Fluval evo and feel it's enough space.Thinking of either setting up a small tank or giving him away.
Anyone know what size tank you would need if it was him only?
