tough six-line

I moved my 50G system II SeaClear tank (with the builtin sump on the back) about a year ago. I couldn't catch the six-line wrasse despite the fact that I tore down the tank and had nothing in there the tank but 4" of wet sand. In my attempts to catch it, the wrasse jumped into the sump section (also empty except for wet sand) and that was that -- I couldn't reach him in the corner of the sump. So I just moved the tank with him still there. A few hours later, the tank moved, and more or less up and running again, the wrasse is swimming around in the sump. To this day, I have not been able to catch him having tried bait-in-coke-bottle and line and hook. Now, I'm about to move the tank again, this time, and assuming I won't be able to catch the little bugger, I'm going to flip the tank over, dump out the sand and dig him out!

Henry's warning is right on the money. If you put one of these wrasses in your tank, you'll never catch him!
