    I am learning the hard way that my Eibli Angel is not reefsafe and is nipping my corals (I had her first.....I knew it was a gamble) like crazy. Time to move her out of the tank. Question....how the heck do I catch her without ripping apart my aquascape? Any tricks? Right now I just have the net sitting in the tank letting the fish get used to it, but any other clever ideas welcome!

    Krista, try searching in the forum for fish capture. There's a few methods that people have had success with!

    I lowered the water in my nano so low that the Angel could not get away and swim through the rocks. Of course this methods does not work on large tanks but smaller tanks it's a viable option.
