    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Six-line wrasses sleep at night in a mucous cocoon that they make.

    Watch him a couple nights and see where he is sleeping, then attempt to catch him sleeping or right before the lights go on.

    Other wise try trap or tiny hook with bait.

    Good Luck.

    J/k do the hook and bait. After hearing that for the first time I researched and found it has the highest success rate around. Make sure to get a small barbless hook.
