How to catch a coral banded shrimp

I need advice! I have a meanie and want to get him out of my tank and send him packing to the LFS! I'd much rather have the cleaner shrimp than him. I need a sure fire way without taking apart me LR.
Thanks in advance!

Mine never comes out during the day but at night it will come to the front of the tank I can see it roaming around all up front at night with the moonlights on.

Shrimp will usually jump onto food that's held in your hand. You could try holding a hunk of food in the tank with a feeing stick then scoop him out while he's trying to get the food off.
