How to catch a large fish in a reef tank

[my2rotties]

I had three larger sized live rocks on top of the trap... she is just that big and strong. I have had it in for three days now and have done all my feeding from it aside of the puffer food. She is much longer then the trap and was stuff in there like a sausage.

She is a nice fish but has the bioload of four fish. Doubling in size in four months has me concerned. She will still get bigger. Very peaceful and quiet... until you get her in a trap. There was water all over the place, and I peed in my pants just a little bit...

Marie, I have a DIY trap that works well if you ever need it. I caught my Foxface and Sailfin in one evening when I moved them to the big tank, and the Foxface a couple of days later (he's not too bright) to put him in QT when he was bullying the Tuskfish.
