How to catch a large fish in a reef tank

[my2rotties]

Come on over... coffee will be on, you are a double double kind of guy aren't you? I have about 40 feet from the tank to the diningroom Are the hip waders one size fits all, since my arse is much bigger then yours

This fish's nature is very secretive and frightful... she does not ocme out when you are watching her and I have been doing tank cleaning and you would never find that fish if you looked for her now...if it was tang I needed out it would not be so bad. This fish's nature will make it super hard to get to do anything that is not in the norm.

So will there be a big fight and do I have to tire her out or just yank her out? I watched fishing shows, it doesn't look pretty especially in a reef tank with stuff to destroy. I would think just yanking her out will give me cuts from the line and probably really damage her mouth if I yank...

This scares the bejeezus outta me Going to try the trap but it is quite awkward and I don't think I can get it to the bottom where she likes to be. I can get it down there but it won't be sitting straight and the door is questionable on a good day. My friend tweaked it with tie straps for his tank to sit on the top but this fish NEVER is at the top of the tank.

So... anyone want a really cool rabbitfish I have never seen anywhere else before?
