    the easiset way that I have "read" to do it is to remove your L/R and then attempt to catch him....

    I have had luck with floating a 2L bottle in my tank with the neck cut off a little, put some food in the bottle then the fish swim in and out and u wait until your fish is in there then take the bottle out.

    Hope that helps

    i've done something similar ro that vwreefer. it worked well, however it takes a long time. i'm in a hurry the domino has gone crazy and is about to kill 2 other fish.

    I use a small hook and some bait on them also a trap will work sometimes . But the small hook works the fastest.

    doms are tuff.
    paul simon should have a song "fifty ways to catch your dominoe".
    here's how you can bite the bullet half way...
    take any sensitive corals out. drain 2/3 water into tubs/jugs/etc.
    you can try: take a couple of sm pieces of plexi and create a cutoff area in tank with domino inside it... and then net him,
    or just keep chasing him into corners with a spoon or something and attempt to net him. good luck

    Try to catch it after the lights have been off for awhile at night is the best way as they are less apt to spook and move around as sllep mode is in effect!!!
