not sure if tangs sleep, but you could try the sneak attack also. although its mostly used for clownfish.

from our friends at RC

Clownfish sleep, attack at night!

If you are unlucky enough to not only have a runner, but one that is really good at it, you may have to resort to catching them at night when they are asleep. You can either go with the flash light and not light up the tank or you can flip on the tank lights. However if you flip on the lights, the fish are going to wake up, giving you much less time to get the job done than if you just use a flashlight.

or get some screen and make a square with it lean it in the tank when he swims by pull screen to the glass and trap him, tangs are about the hardest fish to get to go into a trap

If it is a bold tang it might just go right into the trap, I have been using a trap to catch fish in my tank and the tangs have been going in since day one, the only problem is that I don't wanna catch the lol. What kind of tang is it you are having problems with?
