Thanks for the tips. So I tried the coke bottle thing using the small glass bottle with a plastic wrap slit in the opening baited with some shrimp and all I caught was bristle worms--did this for 4 nights. Maybe I'll just have to keep at it until he shows up in the bottle. So all those...

How did you get rid of him? 2"? That is what I'm afraid of.

My first post...so Hi all. I cannot seem to find a RG at any of the LFS's that eats frozen food just dropped into the aquarium, and I just don't want to leave it to chance that there are enough pods, etc in my tank. I have a small CPR hob refugium, have copeods in the tank, but have no idea if...
