Stupid Stuck Shrimp

[soybean]

Last month one of my amano shrimp managed to get inside my internal juwel filter.

I'm sure he's living the life of riley with all that delicious gunk but I'd prefer him out of there.

He's in the section that holds the power head and heater, not the media - I see him at the bottom up against the grills at the front and back of the filter.

I've removed everything in the filter and shone a torch down but I can't see anything, it's too black.

I've no desire to remove the filter casing but I don't want a shrimp dying and rotting in there. I've had it over 3 years so I am quite attached to it as well.

How the devil do I get him out?

How the hell did it get in? lol

God knows. I think maybe during a water change somehow, maybe crawling in the outlet pipe while it was off. I can't think of any other way in.
