I've got two small Klein's Butterflies that are nipping at my SPS frags. Hard to tell if they're killing them, but I'm pretty sure they're inhibiting polyp extension. Think they need to go?

Yikes!!!! [emoji849]. I would say it depends on what you like better, your sps or your butterfly fish! [emoji6]

I caught five fish on hook and line but no Klein's. I put a small rock with aiptasia on it in the trap.
 
Not yet on the aiptasia in the trap. I caught three Anthias, a Damsel and a purple tang on the line.
Wow your good...I have never tried the line trick.....I tried a fish trap once for a ax murderer six line Wrasse...he wouldn't go near it....so I used the two net method....I got him but it was a PITA! LOL! [emoji16]

So, pretty much every fish goes for the tiny piece of bay scallops on a very small, weighted hook. Just not the ones I wanted;)

Good news is, one Klein’s is trapped and in my 120 rock cycling factory for aiptasia control.
 
Nook 2. Klein’s 0.

Trap worked! Out of 40 plus fish, only a Damsel and the Klein’s entered the trap. Put a nice dent on my Jameson’s bottle in the battle.
