Ok 200 gallons and 200 lbs of rock so emptying is not an option. I made a trap and bought a blue throught trigger, any other thoughts? I have cought 4 of them just picking at more than one coral. And my christmas tree worms.

my peppermints were greedy little :censored:'s! they picked on my corals and stole the food from them whenever i would try to spot feed my corals. i was actually able to catch them just using a large net with some meaty food inside of it. i placed it near my rock and they would climb on to the net to feed, then i turned the net inside out and brought them to the surface or i used a second net to scoop them while they were eating. i also had success with the water bottle trap. my shrimp were very bold yours may not be as easy to catch. maybe reduce feedings or dont feed the tank for a day or two then try to catch them at night when they are hungry it worked for me. good luck!

They can be some serious voltures for sure I had one rip my nems to shreds!
I used the bottle trap and it worked for one!
Then I eventually had to take my tank apart for the second one!
Some are as dumb as a box of rocks while others can be pretty sneaky! Good luck!
You could try a melanarus wrasse mine went right after my skunk cleaners the second he was introduced!
