Mantis shrimp isolated in rock.

[revjaxson]

Ok, I would like a sure fire way to eject this little b#@ch from his rock. I have isolated the rock in a 5 gal bucket aerating.
Here are some of the posts in archives that i've read.
Seltzer water dip.
Dip into high salinity water.
FW dip.
Coke.
I don't have the capacity to trap him in the bucket. Seems impossible in there. No view.
I brought the rock to my lfs today as the clerk wanted him, he was visible upon arrival but borrowed deeper into this rock and no longer is visible.
Hammer and chisel????
Thx for any help extended....

If the clerk wanted him, just sell him the liverock with the mantis, and get some mula out of it, then you could buy more liverock and posiibly a fish or something.
