HOW TO CATCH COPPERBAND?

[reef addict]

Fellow Wamas, I need your advice on how to catch my coppeband. I have 220gl tank with mixed corals. I tried to catch it with a green net during feeding time, but no luck. Any advise, greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks,

Cj

Couple threads recently on catching a saltwater fish. You can use a fish trap store bought, you can make your own out of a 2 liter. A non barbed fish hook (although probably not the best option for a CB with the beak.)

 

This video will help with the 2 ltr. Mostly you'll just need patience. And you'll probably catch every other fish before you get your CB. Let them all get used to it for a while.

Netting a CB can also damage the beak.

Thanks guys. I will try the bottle trap.

Try multiple traps and bait them.
