Hi guys,
I have am a new comer to the reef tank hobby and after adding some live rock last week I have picked up a mantis shrimp, I assume these are bad in a reef tank and want to know how the hell I get rid of it? it is far to fast to catch in a net and I only see it from time to time and it doesn't stay still long enough for me to get a picture. It is black about 50mm long and I hear this poping noise every so often.

Thanks

Steve

Hey!
You will probably need some kind of fish trap
You could do a search in this forum on how to catch them
or make traps
If you are not to far away
I'd be interested in picking up or paying shipping
Good luck

Take a peak around this forum, you may want to set up a small tank for the little guy and keep him. They are actually really cool pets. There are traps or I have used room-tempature club soda on the rock it was hiding in (popped right out).
