Mantis Shrimp

[jhmuse]

Ok, it is official. I have a mantis shrimp. This is the second one I found on an order of live rock. The first is living happily in my 'fuge and was caught roaming around in the packaging the live rock came in. I could not bring myself to flush him so in he went. Anyway, now that the second one has made it into the tank, I was wondering how to get him out. There is a great deal of live rock and I'm not sure I want to go in and grab the one he's in to get him out. I have a trap in the tank now, but he has not taken the bait. Does anyone have any better options?

Thanks....Jake

I caught a mantis when it was digging near a small rock. Scooped up rock, substrate, and all with a net, including the mantis.
