    Default Accidental acquisition!

    I just purchased an anemone which was attached to a live rock so I brought both. Low and behold, as soon as I placed it in the display after 30 min acclimation period, a LARGE yellow tail coris wrasse pops out! I don't know where it was hiding. Anyway, I have read that they could be quite destructive. Any suggestions on how to catch him?
