**lfs's sell traps. Never used one, maybe someone who has will let you know how effective they are soon**
Id like to try it...my lfs has no clue..has anyone used or heard of these? I have a the Strawberry Basslet from hell too, and I wouldnt mind him going either. Someone suggested a LionFish (in jest) but beleive me, it crossed my mind! My lfs will take these guys back if I can get em out...
Thanks in advance!

Take a pop bottle, cut the top off and turn it around pointing the cap portion inside the bottle. Put some food in there and most of them will swim in, then just pull the bottle back up.

Take andys advise. I've done this too and worked great! It will take some time but its better than stressing the other fish in the tank chasing it around. You may want to weigh down the bottle with some cc or sonething, it will have the tendancy to float. HTH
Good luck.
