Trapping a green brittle star?

[drej424]

I have a large green brittle star in my 150 reef tank. I'd really like to get him out, but I don't know how to catch it. Any suggestions?

yea they are usually easy because they are so aggressive...They are nocturnal feeders so use a tall smooth sided glass or jar tall enough then when it's in the bottom it cant grab the top to pull out...tilt it on the rockwork at night with any meaty food..it will slid in to get it and won't be able to climb back out....or you can manually try to catch it at night when it's out....GL
