How to catch pistol shrimp?

I have a hitchicker pistol shrimp ugly one too lol. I want him out. I try removing the rocks,but the problem is the rocks i have in my tank have a lot of holes he can hide. Is there a way to get him out? I try not feeding him.

His a red one with black stripe on the back,i believe. Can't get a good look of him since hes always hiding.

I dont really have any advice other than to try and lure it out with food into some sort of trap. Just curious why dont you want it in your tank?

I din't know i had one after a month. At the time i added a tiger pistol shrimp and goby which are paired up now. One day i saw thi molt,it wasnt from the tiger shrimp looked diffrent. Everyday i hear this popping noise,i know is not from the tiger ome because i seen him out and about. Don't think is a good idea to have to 2 pistol shrimp,i feel hes going to kill my tiger shrimp.
