Dear Dr. Ron,
I have a camel shrimp that at got from PEtco (yes i know now, shame on me!!!) She superbe, huge and very healthy. Why ? Because she's eating my zoo's!!!!! I saw her, i have video and picture to prove it.
My question is : how can i remove her without killing her?
The big problem is : she's only feeding on polyp, other food don't interest her!
I know the "power head' method, but i'n not in killing her.
If you could help that be super.
By the way if anybody want her, let me know.
Thanks,

I want to know too, I think its nibbleing my shrooms, I have fish that will eat him when it gets bigger but I want to keep the shrimp in a 10gal or sump.

Would a bristel worm trap work, thats what my LFS recomended.

Cut a coke bottle at the top, turn the screw part around so that is looking inside the bottle, put some meat in there (or a zoanthid!:) ) and you're all set.
