Help! Agressive Fish
Hey, I have a biocube 14 packed with lots of liverock and corals. month ago I added a red coris wrasse juv. Realized it was too small for my tank and was agressive torwards my percula clownfish that was really small. I can never catch it. Now In my tank I have a saddle back clown. and it bullies the coris. So the coris never comes out any more. Im going to be adding a small bangaii cardinal and getting rid of the saddle back soon, and Dont want the coris to kill it. The coris burys itself in the sand, and Ive tried almost every trick in the book. If you can come and catch it, or give me a tip and I succeed using it, or give me something to borrow to catch it, the fish is yours to keep..
Thanks guys.. Heres my tank as of now: I cant move any rocks or move around too much since Ill break my sps.

I once had a yellow wrasseI had to catch. I capped a piece of 1" or soo PVC pipe about 3-4 inches tall and put it up rite in the tank. After a few days the wrasse couldn't help it self and had to investigate. It liked it so much it started sleeping in there
 lights off.. Fishnet over the top.. Wrasse caught

Got a pic of what you did?
Was the PVC faced up, or on its side? That could acually work

you have a biocube ? YOu can drain that sucker (into a tupperware container) right down to the sand. Scoop out the wrasse. Refill tank. Done.

I have a fish trap but its way too big for a biocube. Go on youtube and search fish traps for reef tank. Cut a small clear plastic bottle (water bottle works great) and invert the top into the bottom. Have some mysis or pellets in the bottle. Wrasse should go right in there. They get too confused to swim out.
Here's a link on someone catching a damsel  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym6MB...yer_detailpage Best of luck!!!

! I had a clown fish i couldn't catch in my cube. Spent awhile trying my daughter said" try it with the lights off". So i turned them off and fish went to its corner and barely moved when the net was coming at it. Has kept working since with other fish. Ruglu6 showed me his feeding tube, fish will go right up in it then he would just net the bottom.

depending on the temperment of the fish, you might also try a mirror trap
Fish trap this type of setup with a small peice of mirror at the back of the chamber can coax an agressive fish inside then you can remove the trap with a peice of fishing line
