Sexy Shrimp must go....How..

[ENARP]

I have been trying to catch two sexy shrimp that are terrorizing my toadstool leather for 3 days now. I have a small clear plastic container with a hole in it. I have been using mysis shrimp and some pellets as bait, but no luck. Is there a better bait or trap? Need help...they gotta go!

You could try adding a larger cleaner shrimp and see if the larger shrimp will eat the sexy's.

How big or attached to rockwork is your toadstool? Maybe isolate it in a kritter keeper with small holes for flow but too small for the shrimp let them follow it in the trap and then remove the toadstool from the trap...

The toad stool is probably the size of a coffee cup. Guess I need to look up what a kritter keeper is....

Mine will crawl in my hand if I offer them a raw shrimp to pick at. Just a thought.

Kritter keeper, has a door on top

I was able to siphon mine out with some plastic tubing. They terrorized every coral in my tank!

I bought a pair a couple years ago. Dropped them in and the first one never even made it to the bottom. A six-line gobbled it up in one bite... I didn't even know his mouth could open that big and still wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it. He quickly finished off the second one. Just a thought...

The irony of this thread is I have a pair of sexy shrimp in my fishless frag tank just to provide more movement. :p

Ok No luck catching them in the Kritter Keeper. They won't go near it. I'm thinking I need to purchase something that has Sexy Shrimp and not corals on the menu.

Looks like a Mystery Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus ocellatus) to me.
