reefman Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Well, Gabriel warned me, further confirmed by Brain and John, and now that we know what to look for there is no doubt. I have a BiColor Angel that is decimating my corals. I need to get rid of this bad boy, very badly. Catching would be preferred, but I need him gone, no matter how. While many of the fish in this tank will virtually eat out of my hand, this SOB is elusive and shy as you could get. He just sees me walk up to the tank and is gone under the rocks. Any (and I mean any) ideas would be greatly appreciated. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Try a trap with a long piece of fishing line so you can watch from a distance. It may take a day or two of just leaving it in the tank until he gets used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barderer Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 if you can find out where he sleeps, after lights out and its been pitch black for a few hours walk up to the tank with a bright mag light and net in hand. locate him and flash the light right in his eyes. This will buy you about 5 second to scoop him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Thanks to everyone who replied. After pulling out about 90% of the rock and corals, we finally got him. He is now the proud position of a very nice young couple who is just getting into the hobby, and have no corals (they have a FOWLR tank).
