Anyone have any tips on how to catch one of these guys. I've left my net in the tank for about a week now and tried to scoop him out durring feeding, but I haven't really come close yet. There's gotta be a better way. Any ideas would be great before he nips my corals to death.

well if you have a clean empty clear jar you can put some food in there and trap him? its clear so they get disoriented in there and you pull up on the string and out of the tank they go!

Thanks for the idea. I've tried it the last two days now and it hasn't gone near it. I'll give it some more time. Any other ideas?
