How harmful is this guy?

[TheCrimsonChinh]

Hoping I don't have to remove this rock, a pistol shrimp and his goby friend made a home under it.

Pretty shhimmery, I wouldn't trust it.

 

[Lionfish Lair]

That's a Oenone fulgida. You'll want to remove him.

 

[TheCrimsonChinh]

Thanks for the help guys, I'll see what I can do to remove it.

You could try baiting a container with snails. I wonder if they eat clam pieces or just live clam.

 

[TheCrimsonChinh]

I made a little bottle trap with some mysis. Would this work better with the lights off?

 

[Lionfish Lair]

They are nocturnal.

 

[TheCrimsonChinh]

So far I was able to find out that this is a great way of catching my yasha goby.

 

[Lionfish Lair]

LOL! O.O

Good luck on your hunt. How long or big is this thing? How fast is it? I have good luck sucking things out with turkey baster.

I use this. Was the easiest and could fit it anywhere. Rocks sand, both. And 1st night I got 12 bristles. Used a shrimp and coral frenzy pellets. Make sure the straws are pointed down 2wards the sand so they crawl up gen fall and can't get back in and leave the straws 1/2 way in.

Cool.

Is there a way to get it to fully leave the rock and enter the trap? I'm watching it eat out of my trap while part of it is still in the rock. I'm guessing this thing is pretty long.

Put the trap as far from the worm as possible.............

Use longer straws so it's forced 2 leave it's refuge. Also feed sparingly 2 fish so they don't get scraps so there is more of a draw for it 2 fully enter. the biggest I've caught in mine was 3 inches long almost. I place it b4 lights go off like 20 mins and retrieve it b4 lights pop on. I like 2 put mine wedged between a rocks and 2 straws onsand and 2 on rocks. I only use 1 currently and get 10-20 a night when I use it. U gotta make sure 2 pull it and have enough food so they stay on it vs eat and try and find a weak point. That's y a shrimp as it's huge and pellets for stronger attractant. I'll take a pic when I use it 2morrow.
