Ciranolid update
The ciranolid traps continue to work quite well. The traps perfectly capture ONLY ciranolids and nothing else. Just about every manner of other critter tries to get in there and take the bait, but only ciranolids get in through the small hole in the lid.
I've learned that the traps are equally or more effective if I simply leave them in place all night. On a good night, I trap 8 or so. Last night, I didn't catch any. Haven't seen one actually on a fish in over a week now.

Ciranolid hunting is sort of "hit and miss". One night I'll get a few, the next I'll get none. I'm no longer concerned about the population getting out of control anyway.
Here's last night's capture. This is the largest one I've seen so far. This was the only one caught last night, but I'm glad to have him out of there!

 thats what i was thinking  Gorgeous achilles  How big is it?Its funny how the heirachy works in tanks. I've just recently discovered that my scopas tang can be a mean bugger when he wants to. Which is weird as he's never shown any aggression before to any newcomers. Fish are strange critters

The Achilles is large. Maybe 6"? He's bigger than the Naso and the Yellow, but about the same size as the Trigger.

Oh yes...it was also interesting to watch the Yellow Tang use his tail blades. I always wondered how the fish would actually use them to attack/defend.
