I posted a question earlier in regards to what fish I should get rid of. Well, I have definitely decided that the shrimp goes! He has been trying to attack my fish! He lunges towards my fish and attempts to grab them with his large claws! Tonight he took a swipe at my maroon clown and sliced his lower fin.
Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks |

Hey SKA
I don't know much about the CBS, but I think these guys are opportunists extrodonaire. Anything that even remotely looks edible will be attacked. And they are very timid creatures, which makes catching them difficult. They have fish trap which may work, but it costs 50 bucks at my LFS, and you may end up camping all night in front of your tank to catch the bugger. I have also got a bicolor angel problem, so I will probably just remove the live rock until I can get at them both. |

My friend said to use chop sticks...hahahha
I hate to disturb my live rock---there's so much of it! Unfortunately, there is so much live rock that I would not be able to use a fish trap. In addition, I hate to disturb my poor little anenome! I guess I have no choice but to move some rock! Thanks so much...I really appreciate all the help.... |

Ohh man brings back bad memories...
I had a mated pair of CBS and they loved to nip on my fish, so I decided to catch them and trade them at my LFS. NOT EASY. I tried and tried until one night my brother and I vowed not to sleep until we caught these buggers. Well, at 3:00am we finally got them by cornering and netting them...the first one took the most time then we got the second in 10 minutes. I was slightly tired the next day...hehe. Good luck!! -Russell |

I have a mated pair of coral banded shrimp and have noticed them from time to time swiping at my fish. HOWEVER, they have not succeeded in doing any harm, and IMO they are more a couple of bullies than anything else. Mine are staying put, I think they're pretty cool, but thats my experience/opinion.

I had a CBS and thought he was great. Every now and then he would jump at the fish but the fish would just swim off.
I used to feed mine by hand and he got to where he would get on my hand every time I put my hand in the tank. Made cleaning the tank more interesting by having a shrimp running up and down my arm. So try feeding them by hand and it may make it easier for you to catch yours. TnReefer |

If you go in first thing before you put your lights on he should be out. They are a disoriented when the lights first go on. Pick him up with your hand ,other then look menacing he is not going do any damage to your skin. The other thing, did he go after a fish that was sick? IME a cbs like any crab will try to eat or kill something that is either dying or dead. They are not the strongest guys in the world.FWIW Andy
