Fill the bucket with a saltwater mix of 40 ppt salinity or a specific gravity of about 1.030. Wait no longer than 10 minutes and the bucket will be full of stuff. You can then pick through what you want to keep. If you keep the rock in there too long you will start to kill stuff. You will be amazed at what is in there. "I" get rid of anything that looks like a shrimp and pour the rest into the aquarium. An internet search of Mantis Shrimp may help ID these critters. Last edited by ping; 05-15-2005 at 06:58 AM.
