So I have a new addition to my tank that is being a real jerk to everyone else. I have tried leaving the nets (ising two) in the tank so he's not scared, trying to nab him during feeding time etc. But am having no luck. Are there any tips you have found successful in catching a rogue?

I have another tank to move him to. It's a falco hawkfish.

You can buy a fish trap off bulk reef supply. I have heard that they are pretty effective.

Wait until night and the lights have been off a while(it’s asleep) then try and scoop him slowly.
Sometimes if you use a flashlight too they will migrate towards the light still half asleep.
Also you could try using something clear like a glass cup. :)
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
