The most difficult fish to catch in a reef tank...

[Daniel@R2R]

What has been the most difficult fish you've ever had to catch? For me it was a sixline wrasse that was incessantly chasing and stressing out every other fish in the tank. He was almost IMPOSSIBLE to catch.

yellow assessor for me. He is so fast that he got out of the "drop door" style trap. Even with it only a quarter of the way open he still managed to get out before it shut closed

Black combtooth blenny here. He did not eat anything in my tank except corals so baiting him was impossible. He made the mistake one night of going to bed in a rock that was easily removeable. Almost never got him out of his crevice. Shook the rock, squirted water on him till he finally fell out.

The dagum anthias I can't get out of my tank to let it run fallow. I took out everything and the fish disappeared. Put everything back in and guess who shows up a couple of hours later. I really need to get that darn fish out of my tank....

Chromis are always such a pain!

Gorilla crab. Not a fish, but...

 

[Mastiffsrule]

Firefish. Never strays far from his cave in the rocks, fast and usually hides when walk to tank. And I’ve had him 8 years.

Royal Gramma as well!

My female clown - impossible.
In my freshwater: Buenos Aires tetra - geez Louise!

The most difficult fish to catch hands down, is the one you want to catch.

Any fish you want out.

Or a dottyback!

Anthias. When I did my transfer. kept going to overflow box. there was a cavity I never knew about. Finally I lowered the water level and had no choice but to get netted

Leopard wrasse.

 

[PanchoG]

Six lines wrasse, fast, small and smart. The little devil is uncatchable.

 

[GregOyeah]

Flame hawkfish

 

[Tuffyyyyy]

Flame Hawk was wayyyyyyyyyy more difficult than I thought it would be. She rarely even swims, how the heck is she moving that quick?

When I saw the title of this thread my mind immediately pictured my six line wrasse. And that OP's meme... accurate! lol
