No seriously does anyone have any tips catching that thing, he has been going after every thing moving in tank. He needs a time out
 
how about taking advantage of their habit to feed right from the surface: position a net half-way submerged for a few days along the rim, and feed flake food or sinking pellets into the net for a few days.

good luck!

Beat me to it, I was about to type this out!

+1 for sure
 
Fish trap and don't feed anything else, add a cheap dollar store mirror to the back of the trap and it is likely to go after it's reflection as well.
 
If you can get them eating easy reefs mastick then put a blob at the back of a fish trap. Most fish succumb to this in time

That's brilliant! Thank you so much
 
I caught my little devil sixline in a fish trap. Fishing line held the lid open. Just fed from the trap for a few days and then he got brave and entered.
 
Sorry, but I had to tear down my tank and drain the water to catch those suckers, they were hiding in the rocks. Hopefully someone else has a better solution.

I was able to catch all 4 though and they are still in my tank now.
