How big is the fish?
I had to get two 3" damsels out of a 175 g reef once, so, I got the smallest barbless fishing hook I could find and some line and went fishing.
It took about 5 minutes to get him and did no harm to him at all.
His buddy was a different story. He saw what had happened to his friend and would never go near the baited hook again. Even when I tried it several months later.
I finally got him out about 6 months later when I decided it was time to redo the aquascaping in the tank.
