![]() About three hours. My flame angel gets an assist. I cut the bottom off one of my acan frags to mount it permanently my rockwork. I put the epoxy on and squished it in where I wanted it. The whole process of course irritated the heck out of the acan causing it to slime like crazy. The bi-color was on it in a second, pecking the ba-jeebers out of it. That was the straw so to speak. I put the bottle trap in and baited it with the slimming acan.I left the neck part of the trap off so there was just one large opening. So I sat.......on the coffee table in front of the tank......caught my solar wrasse twice, again....bonehead....My Talbots damsel swims in(he doesnt know it but Ive secretly been wanting him out of the tank too)....I jump up, plunge my hand in the tank and cover the opening to the trap....but not well enough...he squeezed out as I tried to get the trap out of the tank.... Finally the target fish neared the opening to the trap...just then my flame angel took a run at the bi-color , scaring him into the trap...again I swoop in and this time cover the opening better and....

![]() That story got me excited. The sort of excitement that belongs on one of those 'you know you're a reefer when...' lists. Nice work. I've only ever hunted crabs but these battles we have get intense (and kill the arms when you're poised waiting!)
The difference after your bulb swab is incredible. I love the new look you've got there. |

![]() I added this blue tipped green bodied millie. I am hoping it stays this color. Millies do strange things in my tank.
