Any hints to netting a Pygmy Angel?

Thinking about getting rid of him, hes been showing some aggression towards my baby onyx clown Im trying to pair. Also likes to nibble here and there on polyps. Any tricks? Im really not looking to tear my tank apart to get him, and he seems too smart to swim near the net. Thanks

Good luck, I had to pull all the live rock out of our 20g to get to a coral beauty. My flame angel does come up to the surface of the water when I feed, maybe put the net in the water then feed and try and grab him? They can be quick and dart into the live rock when spooked.

I know, I tried just placing the net in the back and leaving it there, he knows...Stayed below halfway down near the rocks the whole time, little bugger. Aggression seems less than last night, maybe it was the moon. My onyx does have a small white wart/bump near the corner of his mouth now, wonder if its related.

use a specimen box. They can't see the clear plastic very well.

Is that the hang on side breeder box they use at the LFS?

Yes, when the fish is cornered it will swim into the container thinking it's a opening.
