I've found a Mantis shrimp in one of my LR and it's been doing a bit of damage, it's only about an inch long and I'm trying to remove it.

I've tried the bottle method for a couple days but it didn't work, recently I've taken the rock out and squirted baking soda and water into the caves but it still hasn't come out! Today I dipped half of the LR in fresh water for a few minutes but it still wouldn't budge. The problem is I have a BTA planted on the rock so I can't fully submerge it, anyone have any other ideas?

So the rock with the shrimp is out of the tank?

Maybe put the rock in your QT tank until the anem moves off it
