Put a piece of Coral on the hook????

No for real try the two littler bottle fish trap thing. Put his fav food in there and leave it as long as it takes. I think you have changed my mind about getting one of these for my reef thank you your pain and suffering has at least paid off in some way lol

Get a piece of plexiglass the width of your tank, Get the angel to go to the side where ther is the least amount of rock. Then place the plex in cut the tank down to size. Remove the rock remove the fish. I did this for a hippo with ich and works great.

if that doesnt work remove all your live rock and corals and net the fish.I had to do this to remove an emerald crab and a brittle star.lots of rubber maid tubs oh yeh while your at it might as well do a water change lol.you will need to take water out of your tank for the corals to sit in.I had to remove over 200lbs of LR all covered with corals

i had to do this to catch an eibli angel. i have a 55 gallon so its not that big to work with. i just moved some of the rock at one end of the tank so i had about a 1 foot cleared area. i then used some of that plastic grating (like the kind use for sump divders or in flourescent light fixtures). i cut it to fit tightly in the tank, put some bait (frozen food and dried seaweed) in the clearing, then lowered the grate (easy since the water can pass through it). took me about 8 tries to catch the thing. but it was worth it ($50-$60 worth of coral later). pick a spot where the fish spends a lot of its time. and leave the grating partially down before you lower it all the way.
