He jumped, I jumped

SO my Carpenters wrasse has been spending a little time at his vacation home, the Overflow. I've been trying to lure him into a bottle trap for about a week and a half now with no success. Today when I went to pull the bottle out of the Overflow to see if Ihe ha been lured in he must have been near the surface because when I pulled the string he jumped out of the Overflow hit me in the face and landed back in the main tank I guess it's one way to do it.

I "lost" a diamond goby for 5 days in my overflow. I had to pull out the standpipe and the return to net him out. I still don't know why he thought it was better in the overflow!!

Perhaps you could build a makeshift cover for your overflow with some black plastic mesh for your pesky resident!
