    I have a queen angel that I want to get out as I am going to a reef tank. Problem is I have slot of live rock that I professionally set up, so I dont want to move it around. Is their a trapping technique?

    Thanks

    Good luck!

    On another more positive note, I have found that catching fish at night, although still difficult at times, is always much much easier and less stressful you on the fish. As long as she is not sleeping in a cave or somewhere impossible to reach. If that is the case you can always place a large net in the tank and let it stay for awhile to get everyone comfortable with it, than one random day place some food in the net and when the right fish eats scoop em up. Unfortunately the fish you want is usually the last one to take the food, never fails :)
