Shrimps should be big enough to get into the hole but most fish won't however hermits and crabs can get in too.
try using those formula 2 marine pellets instead. they tend to hold and give off scent longer than bloodworms. mysis is good for giving off scent as well because of their fatty content.
give that a try and let us know how it works out.
Ya thats exactly what I did, but both fish fit through the opening. lol
I'll keep experimenting.......
