Best trapping method for 4" maroon clown?

[JAG107]

He's way too smart for the net, but I almost caught him at 3am today while sleeping in the 'nem he's "loving to death".
I was reccomended trying a very small fishing hook w/ a mysis on it and hook him, but I know that won't work because the CBB and koran angel will fight over who gets it first. Will the 2-liter bottle work? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Might.Just make the "door" big enough he can get through.

when a fish is too difficult to catch, i usually place a few plexiglass pieces all over the tank to confuse the fish. Then i chase it with a net in one hand and a plexi in the other.

If all else fails, you can remove some of your rocks and trap him in one side of the tank using a piece of plexiglass.

sorry the mental image of watching someone try to catch a fish with a net in one hand and something else in the other is stinkin hilarious ... no offense only humor
