I have a 10" emporator in my frag tank. He was snacking on my prize carpet anemone in one of my DTs. He was the king of the block/afraid of no one. After zero luck with traps [even, ridiculously, hiding behind the couch], I caught him with a pole, a tiny hook, and a piece of shrimp in ~ 5 min. . . He is still ****ed at me tho . . . If you know any fishermen/women, I would try this before the nuclear [everything out] option.
