It looks like a small cloverleaf trap (maybe a foot square) made of
clear acrylic instead of wire. It has four "leaves" and a central tube
into which a cyalume stick is inserted. At the bottom is a
removable tray with wire screen at the bottom, so in order to
remove the fishes you simply pick up the floating trap and undo the
tray. Jan reports no mortalities among captives, and it seems to be
extremely efficient at attracting and capturing small phototropic
organisms.
