Well i needed to get a Flame Angel out of my tank, i would watch him pick at every coral in the tank day in and day out, he was impossible to catch, man they are smart too, i was beging to wonder who had the higher I.Q between us.
every since i bought him i have lost polyp extension from him picking so much.
anyway, it is a 10" long 6" round piece of leftover acrylic, i made slots for the door to slide up and down into, the other end is a piece glued in place and is squared off at the bottom to act as feet so it wouldn't roll, the white tube you see is 1/2" going thru with a uniseal so that while it's in the tank i can drop food in the tube and it will sink into the trap, it is just long enough to reach about an 1" out of the water.
I put it in the tank for a day or two so the Angel gets use to it then start adding food and Wait till he goes in and then release the trap door, which by the way is held up by 8lb test fishing line.
it worked perfectly in just two days,
this trap is not an automatic trap, you have to be there to release the door.
Now he is in the Refugium waiting till i go to the fish store.
