trapped blenny

[saltburns]

help. I ordered a tailspot blenny. I couldnt believe how small he was. Put him in my 120 anyway and he promptly disappeared not to be seen again till today 1 month later. The little sucker is in my built in overflow box. How can I get him out. Tried siphoning to suck him out into a bucket but not having any luck. Anybody got another idea for me.

I'm guessing a "net" isn't going to work for ya'?

I had a black Damsel jump the overflow and live there for months. I wasn't going to remove my canopy (it's almost surgery) to go after him, so.....

(and never buy Black Damsels!)

Plus 1 never buy any Damsel!

give the fish a while he may end up in the sump for easy catch

I had a very passive (Blue) Neon Goby once who ended up in my Sump!

Remarkble, given that he Had to jump the Overflow box, navigate all the turns, Change Rooms (flow thru the wall!), make it through the Bio-balls I had in the sump, and avoid the Skimmer.

It was a Miracle that he ever survived!!! (What a night he had!)

I still have him to this day and he's (now) a very active OPEN Water swimmer!
