help to catch fish

dont feed the tank for a day or two. then before you feed put a net in there like 30 min before and let it sit in the tank. (so they get used to it) then when you start feeding, throw a lot on the top and when the fish goes for it just have the net underneath. if you dont want to do that you can google ways to make traps with 2 liter coke bottles. have done both and both have worked for me. the net is a little easier though

ok its a clarki so it maybe grumpy, but nipping at zoa's? I would love to see video of that behavior.
to catch a clownfish, In this case a Clarki Clownfish.
Method 1 (Sneak attack) wait till late at night all lights off have your net and flashlight waiting in position( you want good flashlight.. like a mag light). grab your net and light and blast the clownfish.. where ever he sleeps with the maglight (since most clowns sleep in the same spot everytime) and scoop him up while he is still stunned by the bright lights.
(do not try this methond on A.Polymnus they are much to skittish and prone to long runs and jumps)
Method 2. Soda bottle trap - check my graffic skillz below!!
Good luck if you need more ways lmk.

Wow, does he actually munch on the zoas or just pull some loose flesh off the stems? Almost got rid of my Hector's Goby until I realized he was cleaning old skin off my zoas.
