Drastic measures to catch fish?
I have a 125g with a ton of rock. False lemon peel is eating corals. Tried three kinds of traps. He is so shy he hardly comes out. I have too much LR to try the lights off and on stun method. Trying to avoid removing rock. Can I laser beam him or something?

Do you have a trap that you recommend. I have a fish that is acting up.

I made my own "trap" out of a 3l bottle that I cut the top off of and pushed it back into the opening the opposite way. I think I used some small zip ties to keep it together. I also cut around the top (where the lid would go on) to make the opening to the trap opening bigger. Then I tied fishing line to one of the zip ties.
I used it to catch a tang that was bullying everything and nipping clams. It took a lot of patience. I swear, every other fish I had went into that trap and ate food (even a freaking mandarin!) and they quickly learned to get in and out. I had a bigger tang that couldn't turn around in it but learned to just go in and back straight out. It's funny thinking back on it. However, finally, the tang I needed out went in and I pulled it out of the tank before he knew what was going on and was panicking too much to swim back through the hole. |

The High & Dry method outlined in the link below has always worked well for me. Just get yourself some Brute containers from the store and once you've caught the fish go ahead and return them.
