Debelius' Reef Lobster problems!

[LobsterMan]

I need some advice on how to get rid of my Debelius' Reef Lobster because he has killed 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp, a blood red fire shrimp, and a yellowhead jawfish. So if anyone has any suggestions on how to remove him or tame him please reply.

build a trap for it. I think the easiest approach is to bury a Gatorade bottle to your sand bed so the opening is at sand surface level. Tie a fishing line to the mouth of the bottle first. Bait the trap with some table shrimp chunks and yank out the bottle when the lobster goes in.

Please don't kill the lobster. He is just trying to survive in your tank the best he could.

Thanks for the ideas. Also I am not planning to kill him. Is what I am planning to do is to move him into my 75 gallon FOWLR when it is finished being setup.

I'd ask LobsterMan. He'll know what to do!

:lol:

I second the trap idea, should work for you.

Thanks I will give it a try.

You could try feeding him more often to keep him full. Then he might just leave them alone. Although I don't know how effective that would be.

He feeds everyday, so I think I might just take him out.

I'm not suprised he took out the shrimp. But the fish I didn't think he would.
