Oregonic Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Got a Banggai Cardinal that constantly harasses my clowns. There has been several times i thought the clowns were going to jump from being chased. Tried to catch him for a few hours today with no luck. I dont want to have to pull rock out to get him. I will keep trying to catch him and he is free once caught, unless you want to try to catch him yourself. Any tips out there? Im going to try again when the light go out located in SE Portland off 52nd and Flavel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sd45x Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I'll give him a home if you catch him. I'm 15-20 minutes away. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPaquatics Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I waited til the lights went out and then blinded them with a flashlight. Easier to catch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorW Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Wait until the lights go out! I've had awesome luck with that. Turn your lights off and use TWO nets, and slowly scoop him up. I actually recently caught a Banggaii doing exactly thisSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120AZ using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharklover Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 That was a great idea with the lights off and flashlight. Had the same problem with a damsel. It even bullied my two 7" sailfins. Eventually I pulled rocks until I caught him. Now he lives in the refugium. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
