we freshwater dipped our liverock and flushed a pistol out. we didnt soak for very long and managed not to kill our coralline or worse all the bacteria in the rock. ive read a less shocking treatment is to soak in less saline water for slightly longer. its more gentle on the rock and will still make it uncomfortable enough for whatever critter is in it to vacate.

If it is that fast is sounds like a mantis shrimp to me they are lightning quick kind of freaky how fast they can move. Oh yah if it is Mantis whatch your fingers they are not called thumb splitters for nothing.

Unless your losing livestock leave the poor critter be. We pay big bucks to put living rock in our tanks and then do everything we can to kill all the life off.
I had a mantis shrimp in one of my tanks for 2 years and barely even noticed him, he never hurt anything. In fact for all I know he may still be around I never did figure out why he disappeared

That was also a thought I had, pretty sure its not done anything naughty and with the
piece of rock he's in is at bottom of some very large not to mention supporting pieces. I may let him hang and see what happens. But when my prized fish go mia can I have your blessing on trapping it. He, glad that you said you had one makes me relax a bit. I agree I do not relish the thought of cature and kill. Pretty nasty, mostly cause I am scared.
