Or a pop bottle cut open both ends and feed into it then net bottom once fish goes in or
My best tip is lights out and net they don't move much. Caught all mine this way.

I have a fish trap but its way too big for a biocube. Go on youtube and search fish traps for reef tank. Cut a small clear plastic bottle (water bottle works great) and invert the top into the bottom. Have some mysis or pellets in the bottle. Wrasse should go right in there. They get too confused to swim out.

Here's a link on someone catching a damsel

Best of luck!!!

Tempting ! I had a clown fish i couldn't catch in my cube. Spent awhile trying my daughter said" try it with the lights off". So i turned them off and fish went to its corner and barely moved when the net was coming at it. Has kept working since with other fish. Ruglu6 showed me his feeding tube, fish will go right up in it then he would just net the bottom.

depending on the temperment of the fish, you might also try a mirror trap

Fish trap

this type of setup with a small peice of mirror at the back of the chamber can coax an agressive fish inside then you can remove the trap with a peice of fishing line
