Default How to catch a BCBS

Anyone have any good ways to catch a full grown blue coral banded shrimp.
I have caught other shrimp with pvc stuck into a gatorade bottle but this guy is too big. I cant move my rock to get him as there is way too much rock work and i will break my corals. I only see him once or twice a month which leads me to believe that he must come out at night to hunt. Especially since some mornings i wake up with a missing fish. Im just worried if i set some sort of trap at night i will catch other things along with him and he might be hungry.

Use that gatorade bottle, but cut out some of the spout to the required size. Bait at night when lights out and after a half hour, check with a flashlight, with red plastic over the lens.
This should not spook the night inhabitants.
