Jeff

Unfortunately this bugger is super smart and strong. I did catch it once with a pinsette before but it managed to pull off.

Anyway, I cannot tolerate it anymore so I took out the suspected rocks to find it this morning. I almost gave up, couldnt find it. While I was placing back the rocks back to the aquarium, I did one last scan - and found it hiding deep inside a hole. I took a pinsette and tried to remove it without success...super strong. So I used the freshwater dip and pulled...finally! out the clam murderer! hahahaha!

Actually If You Leave the rock in the sun for anhour it would come running out..Thats what i do..unless the rock is supporting the main Rock..Then..A Sneak Attack at night with the flashlight works good aswell..Btw Congrats on the catch of the murdered..i know how you feel victorous Hahaahah!..
