Capturing Yellow Tang?

[MIKEDOC]

He is small, there has to be an easier way to get him out the breaking the reef down.
He has become a little to aggresive.
Always thrashing his spike @ things.

Are this fish traps out there?

Hi MIKEDOC,

There are commercial fish traps. Here's a link:

What I would do is put food in the trap and gently hold it still, fish swims in to eat, you close it and take the fish out.

Hope this helps,
Kevin

Mine does that all the time with a clownfish and/or hippo tang in his 65 gallon reef. I leave them all in there; although there's some scrapping, in general everything works out ok. Lot better than getting the tang out. That thing is fast and smart...

I used one of these traps (http://www.ultralifedirect.com/traps.htm) (mini reef trap) to catch a blue tang. There are the greatest thing, no stress, no hassle. I just fed from the trap for 3 days, and slam the door in him.
