Hi Hennie
I am still a beginner, in week 4 of cycling my tank so still have a way to go yet.
I have found 2 mantis shrimps in my tank and have no idea of how to get them out without damaging them (I didn't want to just kill them).
I can't place them in my sump as there is no room and they are buried in 2 of my largest pieces of rock.
I tried luring them out with pieces of fish but they are incredibly shy and won't come out.
I took the pieces of rock out of the tank last week and put them into buckets but I was going away and thought it cruel to leave them to freeze to death so I put them in the tank again.
They are still in their original holes.
Do you have any suggestions of how to get them out of their holes if I take the rocks out of the tank again?
