Camel Shrinp Eating my ACANS!

[b_vanfossen]

Can anyone please tell me a quick efficient way to catch the darn thing?

Do you know something I can make or a good trap for a shrimp?

It is very shy and nocturnal...

Thanks!

well whats worth more to you? acans or shrimp. traps take time to catch things. in the mean time, the freaken shrimp will eat the acans more. IMO use your hand and extract the shrimp. if you accidentally kill it... well whats worth more? acans or shrimp?

camel shrimp are known coral eaters, never should have been put in the tank. get a skewer and stab it.

take a water bottle like poland spring and cut the top off, flip it around and stick it inside the bottle....put some food or acans in the bottle and the shrimp will go in and cant get out...

shouldn't have gotten a camel. they are notorious for eating corals. the place where you got your camel shrimp should have told you as much.

Use a syphon tube and do a small water change at the same time

"shouldn't have gotten a camel"- genius.....

I setup the fish trap with a gator aid bottle with it standing straight up. So Far I have cought the cleaner shrimp- of course...

I do not care if they die. Acans are in the refugium....

thanks for all chiming in!
