The in the bottle put in some Mysis, nori and anything else that might entice the little begger. I then lean it up against a rock that I think he might be in, giving him a nice easy path to the food. Once he goes down for the food he can't climb up.

Sometimes it only takes a few minutes after lights out, other times it has taken a couple of nights.

Good luck. I know that they can be very annoying to say the least.


I tried the bottle trap and even leaned it up against the rock like you did. Bugger is just too smart or too full of Ricordea to go for the bait. I'll keep trying though. Thanks for the info.

Came back from 2 weeks holidays and made the mistake of having my tanks overfeed. Did wonders for zoanthid growth but it will probably take awhile to clean up the tanks. Here's 2 pics from yesterday.

The last month has gone well. Green algae is now under control. All zoanthids have grown well but blue mushrooms are not opening up as well as they used too. The coraline algae growth on the back glass is growing too well and really takes away from the rest of the picture. Guess it's some to do some scraping.

I've seen this tank in person and it's beautiful, pics don't do it justice.
