unless you can catch him with a fish trap or net, gl, i was trying to get out a yellow tang and other than doing what you dont want to do, i dont see any othe way, i also didnt want to do that and still have the tang!

well i think he is the reason that i have had an ammonia spike, but should i wait it out a month with regular wc's and see if that helps?

If you want to catch him try with two nets at a time. Bring one closer to him and move the other one in the direction he will be traped to go.

cindyski, i kid you not my yellow tang likes too be petted with my algea scraper its soo cool, whenever i put a net in the tank she goes right too it to be petted, but on another note my wrass was gonna kill my flame angel and did kill my fairy wrass and i did have too pull all the rock out(about 200 pounds) one fish he kills i will let it go but too he was too mean for my tank, good luck

try getting him out at night after the lights have been out a few hours. Use a flashlight to find him. you can try turning the lights on and throwing in some food to. If the lights have been out long enough they will come out for the food punch drunk if you will. Try it in the dark first. If you know where he hides try scaring him out of the hole with the handle of the net or something like that.
