use a home made fish trap.(for larger clowns use a gatorade bottle.

all of you reef tank owners know that if you have to remove a fish for whatever reason, you can't use a net because it will get snagged on live rock or a piece of coral. your solution is a fish trap. im going to tell you how to make one.

1. Drink a bottle of spring water.
2. Using a razor blade or ultility knife cut bottle top off at the first ring.
3. Remove lables.
4. Turn top so that the mouth is pointed in.
5. Insert top.
6. Place bait inside.(I use freeze dried brine)
7. Fill with water.( make sure there is no air in it, if so just squeze sides)
8. Wait.

there isn't really a need to wait. once a fish,crab,shrimp is in, it won't be able to find its way out. But if a luckey one finds its way out of the hole it will come back for the food.I tested this on my cleaner shrimp. within seconds he was in it, he ate a little bit of brine and went back out, but Scampi(my shrimp) is very smart.
