Trapping a Mantis!

[Reefer Steve]

Hello, I have a 29g Reef and a Mantis shrimp that just cant be in there anymore. Anyone have any ideas for trapping this little bugger? He's about 2 1/4inches, but man he doesn't like anyone else in the tank

you could buy a mantis trap, or make a DIY. Is he living in a rock, if he is, then dunk the rock in fresh water, that'll flush him out. Do a search there is lots of stuff

Best bet is to pull the whole rock out...fresh dip works sometimes, keeping the rock in air for about two minutes then partially submerged in SW so the mantis jumps back into the water worked best for me.
