Thank you for every ones input. My Tube Anemone looks to be doing fine. This Internet thing is an amazing tool, I had a salt tank in the 80's. Resources for information was limited to a couple of books I had and the guy at the LFS. This site is the reason for my success in this hobby since...

Well, I fed it a piece of silver side, it took it and consumed it. this morning it was out of the sand bout 2" tentacles spread wide and looking good. Here are some pics.

It was, or is about 6" long, 3 - 4" purple crown with a green center. When I first moved it, I thought it was in there. But I noticed later that it came out of the sand where I moved it from. It dose look ok. I wanted to move it because it was under a legde and I wanted to get it in the light...

I went to move my Tube Anemone and I guess I pulled him out of his tube. Is there a chance he will make a new tube and survive? Thanks

Thanks for all the input. I feel confident that I can catch any fish I want. The trick is to put the trap in for a day so the fish get familiar with the trap being in the tank and second starve the fish you are trying to catch and be patient, you'll catch em

Well, I got my fish (six-line wrasse), I Modified my trap to suction to the glass, do to the fact that I did not have a lot of space on the bottom of my tank. It actually worked out great I had a better visual of the trap and I had a lot more options where to place the trap. After leaving the...

I guess the silverside wasn't appetizing enough. No one would go in the tube to get it. I'm going to starve them for a day and try some mysis or brine shrimp and hope for the best. I'll let you know if I get lucky.

What did you use and how did you bait the trap? I made a trap and attached a silverside to the pin so when the silverside gets a tug the pin gets pulled out the door shuts and I get my fish. Well that's the plan.

I have a 75 gallon coral reef and I need to remove a six line wrasse. It has 100= lbs. of live rock and full corals I really don't want to remove every thing from the tank. Any tricks and or Techniques that may help capture my wrasse would be greatly appreciated.

Is it a Elk Horn monti..?

I think it's some type of Montipora?
