The Trap
Ok I tried to be nice and give him a chance thinking he wasnt the main culprit but after having gone nuts tonight on my leathers, pagoda, button polyps and my nice new zoo rock (that a few new polyps are missing now). I am not happy at all i wanted to rip him out of there. I put up Chuck's trap tonight and fed through the feeding tube. I didnt get any action from any of the fish towards the trap.
Heres a few pics of the trap in my tank. Its somewhat big in there but hopefully it will do the job.

I have actually done this because a fish I had wanted to eat corals more than food. Had him out in record time.

I was actually thinking about it. I dont know if i can wait to get him out of there though. Today when I do my water change i Might take out some of the rocks that he hides and and try and grab him or at least push him into the trap.

yeah i did.
Good news and bad news. I got the fish out. The bad news it wasnt the trap method i got fed up of him almost demolishing my new zoos. I ripped apart my tank and got him but unfortunately it didnt go back the way i wanted it to and I became really fustrated. I will post some pics later of my new rockwork so I can get some feed back.I dont know if i am totally happy with it yet.

Yeah I know right. But he is gone and I have my store credit for when I buy my centerpiece fish. I actually am starting to like the new rockwork now, it seems to give more options for coral placement. By the way I grab a few more corals tonight from Dong. A nice combo rock with some shrooms, zoos, and clove polyps, and a nice pearl bubble coral frag.

Well, it doesn't matter how....at least you got him out and you don't have to worry about him doing any more damage.
