Catching this fish is proving more difficult than I anticipated! I thought perhaps I would be able to just turn off the lights and quickly net it. No way, it seems it's way smarter than I gave it credit for.

For now I have this:


Planning to cover the end with a net when the fish swims in... hopefully. Perhaps build a trap door.

Any other ideas, or traps that work?

That's how I caught 5 chromis from my reef. I'd suggest squirting Mysis in there with all you pumps off. After a few minutes my fish started swimming in. I just held it in by the opening right at the water line, theyd swim in and I'd tilt it upwards and remove the whole thing.
