Catching and trading falco hawkfish

[thomb]

Got a falco hawkfish about a month ago and it's not working out. Bullying our corris wrasse to the point it won't roam the tank anymore. Evidently, more aggressive than led to believe...

Seems the hawkfish's territory is the whole tank!

Anyhow. Suggestions on how to catch it (I'd suggested fishing with a really tiny hook - but wife shot that idea down)

and anybody want to trade something for it.

get a fish trap..most have had good luck using them...I think AA or Jays carries them for short money...unless someone can loan you one

+1 on the fish trap idea... Or you can train it to eat from a speciman container near the top of the tank so if you ever do need to catch them they swim right in... Might not do the trick since it seems like you need them out sooner rather than later but you could consider it for future fish removals...
