I made the mistake of not researching a coral banded shrimp.I've had him for about 3months with out incident.In the last three wks or so,I've lost 2 chromis and found a peppermint cleaner cut in half.
How can I get him out?I have a 55g with about 110lbs of rock w/alot of caves and hide outs.He definately has the advantage and he's starting to get more aggressive.
Is there any sort of trap??:mad:

They usually become a lot more active at night. I would first try to snag him after the lights go out. If you have any moonlighting it makes them real easy to see.

I use to be able to get the one I had to eat right out of my hand, and was very easy for me to remove. Try takeing a piece of krill and wave in front of him touching it to it's tenticals. He should realize right away what it is and you might be able to bring him to a spot where you can get a net around him.

Or try some krill on a feeding stick and lure it into the net.

My shrimp never has killed a fish but I have heard that it kills other shrimp but never heard about killing a fish.
