Well I just spent 2 hrs trying to catch that bastard. Funny part of the whole thing is there were a couple of times where EVERY fish except the coral beauty were in the trap. Had a couple of close calls, but then my yellow tang would have an autistic fit that scared everyone into their relative corners. I don't think I can use the corner method cause I have euro bracing. I'm going to try the trap again later and just fill the sucker with more food than everyone can eat. Problem is, when you like to dine on zoa's and SPS, why eat shrimp?? :S

I feed with mysis for a couple days before spread all over the tank then you kinda see there favorite places to feed then bait a small fly fishing hook (make sure you pinch the barb) with a mysis bang 10 seconds and you have him if another fish goes for it pull it outta the way. Works awesome and it does not hurt the fish. Done this couple times drop them into new tanks and within 10 minutes there were eating like nothing happened.




If you are really mad there is the shop vac method.....but I don't think you wanna go there yet :eek:

Well about time, but I caught the witch. I haven't fed the fish for 2 days :eek: but, she was the first one into the trap. Not 20 seconds in. So, I have a CB available :)
