    Try to remove the other fish with the net, and then go fishing. You wont hurt the fish with the hook unless you let the fish completely swallow it.

    I recently was successful with this, in my tank full of wrasses (always hungry fish).

    Oh and I was catching a Linetaus ($225-250 fish).

    Didn't harm him a bit; took him right to the LFS for credit. ;)

    I didn't catch anyone else first, just have a quick hand and pay attention. :)

    Well, I meant, you know where he will be coming from when the lights turn on. So turn on the lights, wait for him to slowly emerge all drowsy and slow, and then bam!

    Coral beauty fish are not usually aggresive at all... many people I know have them in 34s like mine, and they are very peaceful.....

    Most Dwarf Angels are a 50/50..and mine attacked fish also and ate coral..I got rid of him, i read after they will be aggressive towards smaller fish sometime and he attacked 2 chromis and a small 6 line(He was to fast for him though)

    But my tips on getting them out are making a trap or draining the tank

    For the trap, look up Water Bottle Trap for reef fish or something like that on google.

    Draining the tank to where there is about 5 inches of water left in the tank and may have to move LR but when you buy a fish and you endup having to remove it, this is what happens unless you get lucky and dont have to do all this.

    Then net trick has worked for me plenty of times. But alot of patience is needed. More than a day in some cases.
