    Default butterfly menace?

    Well, I have had a longnose butterfly for about 2 months...I saw him picking at one of my clams. Suprisingly, it was picking at one of the larger ones and not the smaller counterparts. What shall I do? Sure would be tough to get him out of there...

    Yup. Longnose generally don't behave that well...

    Well, I couldn't catch him so I removed the clam that he was picking at. I hope the clam makes it. Any ideas on catching him without taking out all of the rock!!

    If you catch him I may be interested in giving it a home. Im near 151 and 1604. Actually closer to 1604 and Culebra.
