I had recently caught a mantis by pure accident. I found it floating in the preskimmer box of my remora pro. Well I took him out and had him in a cup waiting for a fellow reefer. Anyways, I went to change the water in the cup and the little guy flew out and he is back in the tank. Yes, I am stupid.
He's a small guy. Only about 1 inch long. But I want to get him out now before he causes more havoc. I just added snails too. Will he kill them?
I want to try a trap first but I'm not sure if it will work since he probably can scoot outside the water bottle opening. What bait should/could I use? I might try some bait in a jar with the maget cleaner trick too. But I need to know what type of bait to use. If this doesn't work I'm going to do a high salinity dip. I'd rather not though because I heard this can kill other organisms. My tank is fairly new so I don't have fish or corals yet.
