I think the only option is to take the rocks out cause he go hide in the structure if you put the net in there. But keep up with the good work man, love your tanks man.
Wait until dark. Make sure all lights in room are out for at least 30 minutes. Quickly switch on the tank lights. Fish will be in a daze and will be easy to catch if you know where it sleeps at night.
@@SaltwaterSanctuary I will try that in the future. I took all the rock out and got him that way. It was risky though. My blue jaw trigger came out with one of the rocks and almost died from being out of the water. But thankfully I put her back in time and she's fine. Phew
Maybe use a large net and when hes going for food try and catch him and if other fish end up in the net, you can put them all in a bucket. it will be easier to remove the ones you want to keep once they are all in the bucket
@@jacksonsparrow8865 I've tried this and still no luck. The clown tang is so fast that he darts into the rock work before the net can even get a good angle! I'm thinking store bought fish trap with food for bait
I have a question, on your tanks i notice you have a glass cover over the tops, does this help prevent evaporation and having to add RODI every so often? I have a bio cube currently with a cover/hood and i never have changes in water level.
@@jacksonsparrow8865 I have lids on all my tanks for safety and for evaporation. The mesh lid on my reef tank and pool pond is net and only for fish jumping, and I have to fill it with new water all the time. Which I despise doing. No lid or mesh lid is suppose to be better for gas exchange, but I'm contemplating getting a solid lid for the reef for less work.
@@timjohnson3913 I have 2 urchins, couple large snails and a starfish in my community tank for clean up. A lot of the fish also pick at the rocks. Also my lights are just standard and not powerful coral lights really helps. My predator tanks lights are so low that algae takes a very long time to grow in there. Maintenance is a minimum!
Wonderful tanks...... Nice fish...... Bravoooo!!!!!!!!!!!
@@gabrielbunea5726 thanks for the support! Stay fishy

It might come to that. I want to try a fish trap as a last resort before all that work

Try using 2 nets

How do you have like no algae on the rocks in your saltwater tanks?
