Coming back to this one for anyone who finds it later with the same problem. The pattern in this thread, where every fish goes in the trap except the one you actually need, comes up a lot with angels, tangs and other fish that stick close to the rockwork. Leaving the trap in longer rarely changes their mind, and when the scape took ages to get right, pulling the rock apart isn’t a great fallback either.
Happy to share a guide I put together on catching fish in a reef tank without pulling the rock apart. It compares nets, traps, shrinking the space and shelter-based methods, with specific notes on fish that ignore traps, like the angel above. Hope this helps!
