When you fish for them......use a very small hook #16 and remove the barb....so it is really really easy to remove it and leaves very little mark or injury. I've done it with a couple of fish now.....works well!
Another method that worked very very well when I had to catch my tangs from my 150g tank was;
Get a large piece of acrylic...very thin, cut it to be 1/2 the length of the tank (or a bit smaller as your tank is MUCH larger than mine!), as tall as the tank and then place it inside the tank about 4" away from the glass.....offer food only in that area...then, when the rabbit swims in to eat....you bend the acrylic so the rabbit cannot escape your area that you created then you net him. I did it....and it worked SOOOOO well! No harm to the fish or you!
