Catching the Bufferfly fish

[clee123]

My two bufferfly fish in my 5 FT tank is eating my expensive corals bit by bit /day by day and soon will be corals will be 'Ball Tai'.. Whenever I try to catch them they just hide inside the big Live Rocks... Anyone can have any idea how can I catch them without taking out all my coral and landscaped LR..?

Most butterflies are coralivores thus its only normal that they will be eating your corals.

You can try trapping them by removing all corals from your tank and placing a damaged coral in fish trap. Once the fishes swim in, you have your catch.
