Yes, I think they are generally noctural. I suppose I was lucky to have seen it during the daylight hours. It remained attached for at least 8 or 9 hours and has detached sometime in the middle of last night.

A close look at the yellow tang suggests that it may not have been the first time he's been attacked. He has a small scar near the area where this ciranolid was attached. It will be interesting to see if he now has two small scars...

Trap goes in tonight.

Danny a few traps are used to catch these buggers the most effective that was mentioned that is for the smaller ones was a turkey baster with thawed food water for the larger ones a net and the same technique water from thawed food the scent supposedly attracts them 30 seconds after the lights are out there is also one more technique called fish trap inverted bottle with hole drilled in cap all of this can be found on the link posted under the yellow tang pic.
