Hi!
I am looking for advices and tricks to catch a pistol shrimp (dead or alive, but much preferably alive...). Has to be «trapping» as tearing my reef apart to remove it is not an option...
BTW does anybody know the lifespan of a pistol shrimp (it's a tiger pistol shrimp)?
Thanks!

I don't know the exact lifespan for them but you can try to put some food in a net and and scoop it up when he comes in for eating.

Is yours shy or does he like to get often during the day?

That wont work for sure, it's extremely shy. I almost never see it...

Why do you want him out?

Causing sand suspension in water column...
