there is a war going on in my tank. my blue green chromy started attacking the other two chromis, lawnmover blenny, and cleaner wrasse. he hits fast and hard, and won't stop. he is a bigger chromy and used to just chase other chromies but now he stepped out of the line. blenny fights him back but others just hide. i fear he'll kill my wrasse. i have to remove him but don't know how to catch him. he is skittish of me. at first, i couldn't figure ot wat was going on and why everyone's darting all over. if i knew they get that way, i would never get them in the first place. help me trap him please

I caught mine when it was feeding. Just feed the tank and slowly move the net in.

My chromis were really eager to go into my fishtrap when i was trying to catch my sixline. I just put a piece of cockle in there, and they were in an out of it all the time. From my experience they are one of the easiest fish to catch, because they are so greedy.

You could also try floating a fish bag in there with a lump of food inside it.

Put two nets in the tank and leave for a while, soon the fish will get use to them being there and when the time is right you can move them in and get your fish.
It works better than a net appearing suddenly.

okay, an update. i didn't catch him yet but things hace calm down. he is chasing other 2 chromies at this time and not bothering anyone else. do i catch him or do i leave him? cleaner wrasse starting bothering my large feather duster, and even climbing inside him. what's up with that?
