Hello,

In my 180g FOWLR I currently have the following stock:

[starter fish]2 False Percula Clowns (about 1" )
[starter fish]1 Royal Gramma Basslet (about 1-1/2" )
3 Longfin Bannerfish (about 5"-6" )
1 Naso Tang (about 6" )
1 Foxface Lo (about 3" )

All fish are doing great together, and the tank looks great. Here's the problem though, I want to get a Goldentail Moray Eel, and I'm afraid the Eel will devour the Clowns & Gramma.

So, I want to move them all over to my 50g Reef Tank. Sounds all well and good, until I stick a net in the tank. Before I can blink all three of the fish are gone deep into the rocks, and I have no hope of catching them.

Any suggestions on how to build a trap, or something to get those fish out of the tank? Or, is it possible the Eel won't eat them, and I can just leave them in there? I highly doubt that though, these fish look like a good snack to me... if I was an Eel I mean.

Thanks.

Many morays are really good with tank mates. But if you really want to remove them. Do it at night when the fish are sleeping. Use a red flashlight so you can see.
