How to bait a Foxface Rabbitfish?

[Raptor72]

I finally borrowed a fish trap to catch the Foxface that ate my entire zoa collection. I've been able to bait every other fish in my tank using mysis, nori and Rod's food. The only one that doesn't go into the trap is the one fish I'm trying to catch. Any ideas on what to use? :headwally:


(And no, I'm not about to go get a zoa frag just to go catch him)

It always seems to be the fish you want to catch that hides. I have had other fish sit in my net while the fish I was trying to catch hid. Maybe it's a prey vs predater instinct. Unfortunatly, I don't have any other advice other than food plus patience.
I put nori on my glass, stood with a net in my hand for an hour to catch a bully vlamingi. I knew I had one shot to pounce.

Try frozen shrimp I used it to catch tough fish, the large frozen uncooked ones all the fish go crazy for it then its just time until the foxface gets its turn

I bought one of those plastic tubs with the rope handles to pull out some Lr with my next water change. I'm going to have to net him up. He even ate a good size frag of zenia that lasted about 2 days.
