Hitchhiker paradise?

Recently i started trying to feed my seahorses by placing food in a bottle to prevent the mess and also to let them have some "fun" searching for food.

However i ended up finding 3 crabs and a worm -.-

Can anyone help id what type they are?

Hard to tell without a close up. Worms are probably just bristle worms. I might try that in my tank to see what I can catch.

Wat did u feed them with

i set up the trap with a birdnest glass bottle. cut the MP to small bits. my cleaner shrimp i think stole it. But when I first left it in side we SAW 4 centi looking worming crawling out pointing towards the direction! WTF!

[DalunT]

Hahaha! my horses were busy eating and suddenly the crab family popped out after 10-15mins... after that the bristle also emerged... i think this method best way to lure out all this xD

Agree, a simple glass bottle with bait leaning on LR is a very efficient trap for bristle worms and crabs.

but the problem is that the cleaner shrimp is fast worker. grabs the MP before anything else.

Good to know such small bottles work too. I don't particularly like using cola bottles since they are too light Time to drink more bird nest ;p

Then catch your cleaner shrimp first. Isolated after you are done with traping the worm and crab. Release it back.

i was tinking. Wat if we use a half a pcs of MP? we only have a small nano tank hence if we catch the shrimp dunno where to keep.

Use the chicken essence bottles n leave it there helps a lot...auto went in...I tried last time without baits

tats wat we did. anyways, managed to catch the crab with my bare hands. saw the crab on the sand quickly use long stick to pin the fellow down the use hand to take it out. Now the crab is living in the chicken essence bottle alone. Suprise it can live so long with only water. drop alittle food for the fellow to eat.
