what fish? tank size? LR/reef?
i want to get my blue line angel out of my reef. thought of giving it a chance to see if he would eat coral, and sure enough he did! The tank is a 57 gal rimless. And also might want to get the melanous wrasse out cause i want to get some shrimp for my reef and i read that they will kill them.
thanks
blue line in 57g! how big is the angel?
The easiest way is with a fish trap, unless you want to empty all the rock out.
lol its like 4 1/2" how should i do the fish trap?
This works great for me:

You guys got those to work? I tried. Different brand of manual trap and it never worked. I didn't try this brand, is the lid at Least weighted, how can you get it closed before the fish swims out?
Yeap. I used it to catch 3 big tangs, wrasse, fire fish, crown, cordinals, and anthias from my 125. The lid is weighted. while you pull the string, the box could move. I put a big LR on top of trap to keep it steady.
...that's just one that came up on Google...the one I use, has a door that is closed by pulling a fish line...so it's a quick/positive close. Has been used many, many times by myself and friends...never fails!

I heard some guy used a pair of night vision goggles to go in at night and just scoop the fish out. I dont know about you, but that's bad ass, dude.
