Catching fish??

[Reef Pilot]

I have used a fish trap, and it works, with some time and patience. But have found an easier method. I started feeding with a net in the water. After feeding would just remove the net. The fish of course at first were afraid of it. But soon they started swimming in front of it, and after a while totally ignored it. Then when I had the fish I wanted to catch in position, I just scooped it out. Used this method a couple times now, and works really well.

That's what I do the few times I've had to catch a resident. Of course when I'm only feeding them I end up catching fish in the 1/2 cup measuring scoop I use, go figure.
