You have heard of hitchhikers, right? This fish made it in my tank by Hidding in a rock that was transported in a bucket 2 hours. 5 days after a rescale this 4 foot docile fish comes out of no where. We were super shocked to say the least. The fish, for the first 2 months, was nothing like Google portrayed it to be. So my wife, love her to death, but we had our chance to get it out. Talked me into leaving it be since it is “not aggressive”. Well, legate we meds it was on have finally wore off. It’s killed a goby and 7 emeralds and we can’t figure out how to get it out of the tank. We have tried traps, nets etc. we are going to have to rip the scape apart and pull all the coral to get it out. Short of trying to fish it out, is there a drug I can put in the water to make the fish “happy”, lol. What about putting an edible in the water?

This is the only known photo of the *******. This is what he did to the Goby. He/it is about 4-5 inches. You have to look between the clowns to see him.

Im not surprised but very pretty but also nasty trigger. The only one that has ever bitten me and removed skin and the bite did NOT tickle.
