How to catch Cherub Angle fish

[ngoyette]

I have a Cherub Angel fish that i would like remove from my tank. I have not been able to even get close to catching this lightning fast fish. Does anybody have any tips on how to catch this little guy:.

Thanks

how big is he

 

[ngoyette]

He is about an inch and a half long.

is he nipping corals or bullying other fish? have you tried the 3AM method? turn the lights on in the middle of the night and try to catch him then. (he will likely be a little stunned)

I posted something awhile ago about my experience using the Reef Gently Acclimater, I dont work for them or get a kickback. I was given one by a fellow reefer, and I caught a Naso Tang in about 1min with it. Just a little seaweed w/garlic, and BINGO!!

Nice video, i think that should work. I will give it a try this weekend.
The acclimater looks very interesting, do you use it for anything else?
Thanks,

Where deos the fish sleep at night? if it is a place you can access than try grabbing it at nightafter lights out.

If not a fish trap and time are your best bet.

I have 50 lbs of LR, it sleeps inside one of the nooks, almost impossible to catch in that location.

i used the soda bottle method and caught the little devil in about 1 hour...

Thanks again for all of your help
