I just had to catch mine yesturday.... getting to agressive... I had to move my live rock around until he was in the corner. Then put the net in front of him and start moving the rocks behind him. He swam right into it. I'm sure that was luck... thought I would be there all day.

Thanx to you both, mine is getting way to aggresive, im pretty sure he killed my peppermint shrimp, and hes always picking on my clowns. wish me luck, im going to give it a try staring tonight. but i may have to do the net in the tank thing for a couple days first. thanx again.

use a critter cage (around 5 bucks) and place a piece of LR in it with food....give it some time and the fish will go into the cage to eat the food, then close the door on the critter cage, instead of swimming out the door it'll dash to hide behind the piece of LR that you placed in the clear critter cage

I caught mine with fish trap after he ate $250 worth of clams it took a couple day but with lots of food in it he finally was not scared of the trap and went in by by Lunar back to the store.You can get fish traps online for about $30.00 for larger one

Your idea's brilliant!!! Why didn't I think of that? Ive been running some ideas in my head on how to catch the damsel thats bugging my two clowns. I was thinking of using the clowns as bait though. :thinking: How big was the critter cage? I have a small one I got at the dollar store sometime ago.

I got a rectangular one that's about 7 inches across. I'm gonna temporarily silicone 2 suction cups on it so I can keep it near the top. Hope it works.
