hot to catch/trap peppermint shrimp

[spardoin]

So my peppermint shrimp are eating away at my coral. Spoke with the LFS today and was told they would buy them back. Any ideas how I can catch them?

Peppermints or camel shrimp? Peppermint generally don't bother coral, and if they do it would probably be a euphyllia

I spoke to the owner of the lfs and he said that they only sale peppermint and never camel shrimp. Regardless he will take it back, so I need to catch it. But it is destroying my brain coral and already destroyed two acans.

Dang, it is usually never an easy task. Good luck!

Just stick a fish net down next to them and they will climb in. Has worked for me a few times.

Success, I stuck a jar with some food at the bottom of it. The shrimp just crawled in and I closed the lid.
