Default To Catch a Coral Beauty

If anything its a catchy book title
Of all the damn fish I can't catch I have a CB that I need to take out of the display tank, despite blocking favorite entrances into the rockwork, she is too quick to catch. Any ideas? I'd rather not tear down the rockwork to get her.
thanks!

That trap design requires you to be there to manually release the trapdoor...so you only trap the fish you want....on a related note.....my dwarf angels are incredibly smart and wouldnt go anywhere near any trap I put in the tank....I fluked out and caught my bi-color angel when my flame angel chased him into the trap......good luck with your hunt
