Trying to catch regal with ich

[julie]

Any advice, I have a 200gallon tank, with lots of rocks and have spent 2 hrs trying to
patiently wait and catch the regal tang, but can't do it. I am losing my patience. regal has
ich and I need to get it into quarentine.

I have heard of some people "herding" a fish into one end of the tank with no rock and then putting in a plexiglass partition to trap the fish.

I had to catch my hippo tang a couple weeks ago to put in qt since it had a few spots of ich...I finally decided to take out the live rock in one end of the tank. then I dropped an acrylic panel into the tank to act as a tank divider. I then threw some food into the rockless portion of the tank to entice the fish to that end. Once the fish were well in that area I turned the plastic panel to block the tank...now the fish were corralled (sp?) so to speak in a rockless section of the tank, which made it a heck of alot easier to catch the fish. Once safely out of the tank and into the qt, I simply replaced all the live rock I removed in relatively the same position.
