Start feeding out of a net, the rest is pretty easy

I had to catch two in my tank and I put a mirror in the front and when they where busy attacking the 'intruders' snip/snap in under a minute they were netted.

I'll post some videos of the "fishing" technique when I get time lol. I fished a couple striped cardinalfish out that way. They evaded every other method of capture I could come up with, but the hook and line with some PE mysis on the end took less than 2 minutes for the three fish. Just don't catch the ones you want to stay in the tank!
