I have 2 6 line wrasse and yesterday I bought an beautiful fairy wrasse which I can't id but that'll be another thread, so I totally forgot that I had 6 line wrasse they started harrasin the fairy. I seperated the fairy and now I wanna know what's the easiest way to catch the 6 line wrasse mind you I have a 50 gal and about 60+lbs of live rock. And I also bought a mandarin will the 6 line mess with him?
 
no just other wrasses. idk about catching them
 
Make a fish trap out of one of those little critter tanks. You should be able to google it. This is the reason I hate 6 lines. They can be super mean.
 
use the 2 liter bottle trick, cut off the top quarter of the bottle and throw it away, tie some fishing line to the bottom section, put it in the tank for a day or two without feeding them. add food to the inside of the bottle, as they swim in it to get the food pull up, nautrally they will try to swim down. boom.

fyi someone told me the same thing to catch damsels and it worked great.
 
the 6 line won't bother the mandarin at all but if you want to catch him try having a net in the tank and feed when he come's to the top for food nab him.
