The other day I watched one of my cleaner shrimp catch a asian beastle from the top of the water, pull it down to the bottom, rip it apart and eat it. I felt like MR. Burns. "Excellent!!"

my clown played w/ one a bit then spit it out
the asian ones let out a foul odor and i'm assuming taiste when they die. The geniouses imported those to help the georgia peach tree's and they migrated everywhere....good thinking
we never learn, importing foreign species doesnt work

Hmm, don't we support importing foreign species everytime we buy a fish or coral? 
I know where your coming from about importing things to take care of one of our pests.....
Funny thing, I was going to post something last night, but forgot, I pulled about 20 from my sump, real PITA. I may try to feed one to the shrimp and see if they like it or not.

My striped sleeper goby used to eat them like candy. It was the only time he ever went to the top of the tank. I traded him to kjdout, wonder if he's still eating them.

Interesting (as is the sleeper goby eating them as well) that the shrimp (and fish) ate the beetle(s) and lived. Ladybird beetles are supposedly pretty toxic.
