pop bottle trap! I have caught every fish I have ever tried for! (And that would be atleast 10! Tangs are easy! Since they are usually very food motivated or the mirror trick will often work too.





this fish was a coral muncher so I used the coral it was eating as the bait - worked fabulously!

Need to put it in and let everyone get used to it - may take an hour may take a day, depending on the fish. Then feed into the bottle only, or put a mirror in the back of the bottle for "aggressive" type fishes - and just sit and watch! Will have to have a net ready to place infront of the opening to pull out - as they will figure out how to get out eventually! Good luck and abit of patience and you will get him!

+1 on the pop bottle trap. I've also caught all mine with one.
Some food in it and they don't stand a chance. Sometimes takes a little patience for them to get used to the bottle. I've left it overnight a couple times and then reset it with food the next day.
