I've caught tangs in a trap. Just don't feed anywhere but in the trap

I've caught any tang I've tried to catch in a fish trap.. Just be patient for a day or two and they will go in. If its a nori eater put the algea clip inside, if it's a mysis eater superglue a big blob onto a disk or rock and put that inside.

I did the same thing with a big net to catch a red coris wrasse. Dropped the net in to let them get used to it for a day, then started putting food in it. Caught the wrasse within an hour.

I've used a mirror as bait for aggressive wrasses before.. They go in to pick a fight and badaboom!
