    yay! flash is actually swimming throughout the tank :D but then the stupid chromis keeps on nipping at him, im hoping by this time next week the chromis will be in the 20 and flash can roam free

    no its really hard... it looks easy when you think about it but its not at all when ur trying it! here are two easy ways:
    1. very small fish hook and line
    2. trap your fish in a corner with egg crate then net him (this actually works quite well)

    It can get quite interesting...

    Had a Sargent major take over a 4 footer, we ended up doing more damage to the tank trying to get him out to return to the LFS than he was doing him self to the tank.
    Eventually we blocked a corner of the tank --> works really well, better than a blunt hook :)

    and i know of one case when a moorish idol decided to start snacking on coral in a 200 gal sps dominant reef... they used a homemade harpoon to get him out :(
