have a pistol shrimp that hitchhiked in on the rock, was content to leave him in the tank, until it killed another peppermint shrimp, thats 3 in 5 months and cannot afford to replace them ($90), so, i did know where he was hiding but he's cleared out, and i have to remove it! anyone got any ideas how?
And no i'm not going to kill it, fish shop said they'd take it.

Ain't payback a beeyatch? We pay beaucoup for all that crazy Aussie stuff here in the US. I never really thought about what you guys would pay for our cheap, common stuff.

I got 3 for $70 bucks on special but $30 a piece, and the stock at the moment are about half an inch, the ones i got were bigger. I payed $70 each for seahorse.
