I had a problem with my six line beating up a leopard wrasse. I used a bottle trap with a mirror inside. The sixline was smart and would get out just as fast as he could swim in to it. So I cut another peice of plastic from another water bottle and put it in the trap and made a small hole for a peice of fishing line to tie to it. The other end of the line was outside of my tank. When he went inside I was able to pull on the fishing line which closes off his exit. The trap was in my tank for 4 days before I caught him. Once I rigged up this trap door with the fishing line I caught him within 5 minutes. Maybe make a bigger enterance hole and get him used to the trap, the mirror helped alot as it made him a little pi$$ed as he thought there was another sixline in the tank.
