Some of you may remember a while back, I posted about a large mantis. I eventually ended up dipping all 150lbs of rock trying to remove the bugger. No luck. I've since lost (over the course of two months) my sebae anemone (due to stress I guess of being moved around to much. I'd had this anemone for 1.5 years), a false perc clown, a watchman gobie and a royal gamma. I know the mantis didn't kill the anemone but he's indirectly responsible
Anyway, I've located the mantis again and actually managed to get that rock out of the tank. I know he's in there this time cause I could see him after the rock was out. The problem is, it's a star polyp rock. I know this got long winded but is there any way to get this guy out without killing it or my star polyps? I tried shooting fresh water and hypo water into the hole and all that managed to do was make him mad. He was shooting out pieces of rock and shell at me. Any help is appreciated. TIA
