Ok now you have done it

[tahoe61]

I have had peppermint shrimp for years, no problems, read about problems with them all the time. They just ate my mini-nem, it has been in there for years too.
I have sexy shrimp never any problems, now they are eating my zoanthids. No changes in the tank, everything eating as usual.
Why, Why and how do I catch the little tank distruptors, please help. Taking the LR out is not an opition. Is there anything that will eat them, otherwise I will need a 12 pack of Corona and spend hours sweating and swearing with a stupid net in my hand. Please disregard grammer and spelling errors as dyslexia get worse with anger.:furious:

I caught my peppermint shrimp by putting some pellet food in a net at night. Once they came to investigate the food I slowly pinned the opening of the net against the glass and moved them to my sump. I caught 2 at one time doing that.

After my peppermints attacked my brain I put pieces of raw shrimp on a skewer and lured them into the net which I then pinned against the glass. Worked for two of them in about a minute, the third female was too smart though. She scooted out before the net opening was against the glass all the way and then was too leery of the net to get back in.
