How to catch a purple lobster

[JimmyC]

OK Lobster has to go. This thing has a endless stomach. I feed him everything but he persists on eating all my snails and small fish. I love him but for the amount of time I get to see him isn't worth it. Any suggestions on catching this guy. Without tearing apart my tank. Thanks

you can try a trap at night..or..you may have to move some rock.

I would put a small trap and a small plastic fishing boat floating on the tank. The boat is just for fun.

I rarely ever see mine but he has never eaten a fish. I had a bottle trap in my tank not to long ago and every morning he was in it so I would give that a try.

I would make a pseudo trap by cuttung the neck off a 1 liter plastic water bottle where it funnels down.Like making a home made funnel.
And then reverse it and push it back into the other section.Make sure the opening is big enough for the lobster to get in.
Put a silverside inside,lay it down on the sand bed after filling it with water.
Instant mini lobster trap.Hopefully one night and you'll have him.
