Stupid question

[BillyW]

Flatworm Stop Works by making Acropora tissue unpalatable to acro-eating flatworms, do you think it would help make it unpalatable to my valentini puffer? He’s been a model citizen up until recently. Don’t want to get rid of him but he cost less than a frag so I will but willing to try other things.

It won’t work on fish

Get bigger snails...

Get a fish trap and let the fish get hungry and try and catch it. It seems that once they start to eat coral, then they don't go back.

Just ordered a trap, thanks!

I have snails of all shapes and sizes, he doesn’t touch any of them, just my Pinky the bear, Hateraid, and Awarewolf! Super frustrating!

I was afraid of that!

When catching fish, stop feeding them. After a few days, just put the tastiest food in the trap - mysis work well. Once they get hungry enough, one or two will go in there. The others soon will follow. Mine has a long piece of fishing line that I can hide off to the side and then let it go. I have always gotten my fish this way, but a few stubborn ones can take a week. The brave ones get fed when they go in there, but it seems that the one that you want to catch is never the first one to go in.

The puffer probably sleeps in the rockwork, but it if sleeps in the open, you can get them with a net first thing in our morning when the lights are out. This rarely works for me except for clowns that are in nems and other stupid fish that sleep in the front corners.... but worth a try.

All traps are different, but you have go have a way to keep the food in the trap when the flow is on.

Thank you! Ordered a trap, and now the waiting game begins!

Thanks for the help! Got him! Wouldn’t go anywhere near the trap and then somehow got stuck between the trap and the side of the tank so it was easy to scoop him out! Don’t mind my abomination of a refugium, macro always gets smothered by Cyano and other trash algae. A work in progress if you will!
