Use a baited trap like myreefclub0070 posted. There easy compared to a dottyback. Lol

lol Oh No!!!


I had this problem a while back. I ended up tearing my whole tank apart

I used a decent sized drinking glass. put a piece of shrimp in it and held it about 2 or 3" from the side glass. shrimp were a little reluctant at first but after 5 mins or so they were inside chomping away. then quickly move glass against side of tank, slide to top and tip up. Just don't slam too hard. I got a little excited and didn't break anything, but the clank was harder than i expected when the drinking glass hit the side glass.

plastic cups won't work, needs to be clear as a bell.

Alright they are outta here! Thanks for letting me using your trap Andy and enjoy Josh.

i have had a peppermint shrimp in for about 4 months i can't get out...i too bought them for aptasia control and that was taken care of in 48 hours....the rest of the time has been spent trying to get them out, dang lps eaters!!! I got one out pretty easy but his brother is so much smarter hasn't fallen for any of my traps. If i get him out someone can have him for free too
