get something to put your corals in like a new trash can. put some water in start taking out the rocks until you can catch the bad fishie

great the one thing i didnt want to do=(

 

[sweetdawn]

hey we all have to do it at some point i had to take all the rock out of my 55 gallon in order to catch three stupid damsels

Well. Not to sound cruel or anything..
But,
If your bad fishy would eat anything else that looked tasty. :happyfish
Try some 2 lb flyline and a size 16 flyfishing hook... Just unsnell the hook and dont let him swallow it all the way when he takes the bait.
It worked for my buddy. He relocated the fish to different tank, and it is doing fine.
Hey corals are too expensive to watch a fish pick apart.. IMO
