Yup...shrimp are greedy buggers.
Let them get used to going in there and eating the bait a couple of times. Lull them into complacency and then - bamm! Shrimp in a bottle.

That's weird, can't say I've ever heard of them doing that. Good luck with the bottle trap, it should work.

Camel Shrimp are DEVIL SPAWN, I had several way back in the beginning that eat all my zoa's and xenia, nibbled toadstools and colts. I went near crazy trying to catch them and get them out

Camel Shrimp?
Has anyone else ever heard of this??? I have had many camel shrimp in many different setups and never and I mean never have they ever even tried to eat a coral in any of my tanks. It seems strange to me, are you sure they are really camel shrimp?

A hawkfish will go after them, but any good shrimp you have as well
