Ahh, Ok. I would suggest a seahare for that.

Works extremely well.....while they are alive that is. They do have a high mortality rate.

Since I have a 75, I guess I'm at the mercy of emeralds and manual removal. Thanks for the replies.

i found emeralds wouldnt tackle large ones, so manually removed or burst them, figured if they made babies the emeralds would eat them.

Which they did....
