IceCap Large Fish Trap 250 — 10" x 8" x 8"
The IceCap Large Fish Trap 250 (SKU: IC-FT-250S) is an authentic, precision-cut
livestock management tool distributed by CoralVue to safely isolate and remove large fish or
mobile pests from established reef systems and expansive community aquariums. Chasing a sick,
territorial, or coral-nipping fish around a mature tank with standard hand nets is a recipe
for disaster—it causes severe psychological stress to your livestock, damages delicate coral
colonies, and almost always requires tearing down hours of meticulous rockwork. The IC-FT-250S
eliminates this frustration entirely by utilizing passive, food-motivated trickery.
Constructed from premium optical-grade transparent acrylic, this trap remains completely
unobtrusive underwater, allowing large fish to grow comfortable swimming in and out of the
chamber during standard feeding routines.
The standout engineering feature of the IceCap Fish Trap series is its innovative,
interlocking puzzle-plate construction. Traditional acrylic fish traps are bulky, non-yielding
cubes that take up massive storage space in your cabinet or fish room when idle. The
IC-FT-250S fully resolves this by assembling with high-precision interlocking slots and
durable heavy-duty silicone bands, meaning it can be completely flat-packed into a drawer when
your target is caught. Complete with a specialized top-loading internal bait tube to
distribute frozen or dry food scents and a smooth-gliding gravity door controlled via a
generous length of manual monofilament pull-string, this large 10-inch trap is a critical
addition to any advanced aquarist's emergency toolkit.
Key Features:
Scents Evaporate Naturally: The integrated bait tube features micro-perforations
along its lower section, keeping loose frozen food secure while allowing juices to flow
outward to stimulate target appetites.
Instant Mechanical Closure: The loose-fit vertical tracking channels ensure the
drop-door encounters near-zero friction, sliding down instantly the second you release
tension on the line.
Invisible Structural Footprint: Seamless crystal-clear paneling avoids triggering
the natural flight response common in bold wild-caught marine species when encountering
dark mesh nets.
Note: This accessory package contains all flat-packed acrylic panels, clear drop gate,
perforated bait tube, rubber locking rings, secure suction cups, and monofilament drop line.
Frozen bait foods are sold separately.
