Once, years ago, I walked in the LFS and saw the coolest "Royal Gramma" I had ever seen. I got it home and placed him in my tank. That night I watched him beat the living bejesus out of everything. Turned out it was a Bicolor Pseudochromis, which in English means "The Fish only Satan could love". Oh man was he a terror. I had him in a 180 gallon and there was no freaking way I was going to break that tank down just to catch one stinking fish.
I'll tell you how I got him out. I placed a cube of frozen brine shrimp in my fish net and placed it in the tank. As the shrimp thawed, it drifted out and fed the tank. I had to do this for about a week, but once my evil bi-color got used to the net, he started racing into it to grab all of the food. One day I set the net in the water; he went in; and I yanked the net out of the tank..carrying about 3 gallons of water mind you...but I had him!!!!

Yeah, if you catch them both, just drop your clown back in the water....and then take your evil fish, find a live volcano ad drop him in it...or just get him his own smaller tank.

You are supposed to bait them, but I've been told the commercial ones don't really work, guess the door doesn't close fast enough when needed...Try making one out of a 2 liter bottle, cut the top 1/4 off, invert it and stick it back into the bottom half of bottle, fish can get in, but not get back out...I was going to try that for the flame angel in my tank that is a terror, but he is too smart, so I'm thinking of trying the shrimp cube in the net trick with him, that might work....

To have bigger fish then the dotty back.
My medium yellow tang keeps him in the rock, he chases the yellow tail damsel left over from when my wife and I nuked the aquarium to get 6 damsels out!!!!!!!!!
The yellow tang is the judge, jury, and executioner of my tank....
I would say that once things get established you'll barely see him.
I see mine about 15 minutes until the yellow tang chases him back in his hole.
