Coblerx made a DIY fish trap. Maybe he can post you a pic. What it is , is a plastic juice bottle. Cut the spout off to make a bigger opening and drill holes all over it and put a string on there to lift it out of your tank. Put the fish food in the bottle and wait and when you see the wrasse go in just pull the bottle out and the water will drain out of the little holes and the fish will stay in.

I have a fish trap and you are welcome to borrow it. This trap thing comes up often enough maybe the club outta buy a couple and have them as loaners. Just a thought.

I've had good luck by waiting until the middle of the night, then blinding the fish with a very bright flashlight. Makes netting much easier.

I net'd my coral beauty fairly easy by leaving the net in the tank for about an hour, then I put some food in the net. Angel came to eat and was quickly caught.

I suppose a trap would have been easier.
