Help me catch a hawkfish please

[leilani908]

Hey. Someone gave me a free hawkfish, I hate him. Should’ve done my research on this one. I knew they were aggressive, but dang he’s mean. Please give me advice on how to catch him

What kind of hawkfish? Best way to catch it is with a fish trap.

It’s a falco/spotted hawkfish. What kind of fish trap? I’ve never had to make one or buy one before

You can do a google search on DIY fish traps. I have never had luck with these. For a fish this size, something like this should work. https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/s...8xCt9KSQvksjn1WD_ivE0--vEaedhHqxoCiBMQAvD_BwE

There are all sorts of aquarium fish traps online.
