IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not know what to say I am so happy. I found this thread like a week ago once I figured out what kind of worm I had and I instantly went to home depot to get the materials. When I saw your trap I immediately thought that it made perfect sense and I had total faith in it. So the first night I stuck it in I used a little bit of fish food and not a single hit. The second and third night I used mysis shrimp and still no hit. I did not let it faze me though. I just though that I needed to get some scallops and that I would do it this weekend. Then tonight I was looking in my aquarium and I noticed the infamous jelly substance people talk about seeing left behind from this worms killings. I took a closer look with a red flash light and sure enough that little turd was eating one of my snails. I was T.O.'d. I grabbed some tweezers and took a few shots at him but it was like me trying to hit a professional boxer. He is the quickest thing I have ever seen. So just before I gave up I decided to make one last ditch effort. I grabbed your trap that I made and placed the half eaten snail inside and I sucked up the jelly and squirted it inside the hole on the trap. Now I don't know if the jelly helped or he just smelled the snail but he immediately went inside. I was shocked. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The problem was I had failed every attempt to catch him before that I was afraid to pull the fishing line. I just kept saying to myself "if he crawls in a little bit more, ok now a little bit more" then out of no where this stupid hermit crab comes bounding over and it was like slow motion. I was like "NOoooooooo!" and then he stepped right on him and he shot out of the tube and back under the rock faster than light. I thought to myself, "that was it, I blew my one shot". But I knew if he did it once he would do it again and after about 5 minutes he made his way back in. This time no crab and he quickly crawled about half way in and I yanked. SUCCESS!!! He pulled right out from the rock and out of my tank forever. I cannot thank you enough. This truly is an effective worm catcher. Pictures to follow.
