    I had one attempt. and it didn't go well.. I would REALLY prefer not to tear apart my rock. I have time, I covered up the Acan coral and the brain that he was nipping at.. im pretty patient.

    My brightest ideas are usually found via Google search....haha (not really my ideas at all then.....) :p

    Since you have time....traps sound like a good idea. (back to Google)

    I've used 2 nets in my FW tank, works better than the one for me. One net to grab with and one small one to help corral the little guy...

    Try to sit both of the nets in the tank for 2-3 hours so he can get used to them. Then maybe once you try to catch him with the nets he will not immediatly dart away. You could also try to put food in the net and see of he will go for it.
    Good luck
