I once took my SFE out of my tank, he went crazy and started biting all the fish and me, that thing has some sharp teeth, I caught mine when he was swimming around trying to get out, try to grap him with the net from down under and once in just close the net. NEVER try to grab it with your hands, bad idea because those things are so slippery that chances of grabbing him with your hand are very tough

Mine (SFE) lived in one piece of rock.........I filled my bucket up with tank water removed that rock (once I was sure it was in there) and placed in the bucket. At least I narrowed its chances of getting anywhere. Moved the rock around till it came out and placed the rock back into the main tank. I see that jwtrojan44 mentioned corals, I didnt have any so i had no worries about that. WARNING---if you get it into the bucket, they are not happy campers and try to escape----had something to cover it handy!

If you look at my tank pics (on site below) you see that I do have a corals and LOTS of rocks to hide in. As these thing are worth more to me then Morry (the SFE) think a hook would be my best bet? with one of his silversides on it I'm sure he would bite. Hate to hurt it but better them ruining my tank. That me also say that I have to get him out on two accounts 1. I have bad aptaisa (how ever you spell it) and he keeps eating the pepermint shrimp i put in and he is starting to go after some off my small fish and messing with the tang even!
