Ideas/tricks for catching a fish

[Shawnyfive]

Hi guys, looking for help. Lost the gamble of trying a coral beauty and hoping it wouldn't nip my corals WRONG. The bugger is rapidly destroying several of my coral. The fish went in this Tuesday. I have lots if rock work so I'm reeeeally trying to avoid tearing it apart. Ideas?? Anyone have a fish trap they've had success with? Thanks for reading.

Try draining all your water into brute cans until you only have an inch or 2 of water in the tank. Should be able to catch him easily then.

Or - get a small hook and fishing line. Remove the barb on the hook and go fishing. This has worked well for others

Look up "2 liter fish trap"

Thanks, I tried the 2 liter fish trap already. No luck, fish hid and refused to come out for like 4 hours

Leave the fish trap in the tank for a few days and let the fish get used to it. They will get hungry eventually and eat from it. Worked for me. I have also used the small fish hook method. I also feed mt thawed brine from a small net everyday. I have caught most of my unwanted fish in the net during feeding.

This is what I do, except I use a big net n let the fish swim in and out of the net 2 feed, eventually whomever ur tryin 2 catch will enter the net. Let 1 day go by without feeding them, then introduce the net with food in it....

Until you catch the booger, protect the corals being picked on by placing strawberry baskets over them. Good luck
