I have found that catching fish in the dark is usually easiest for me anyway...lights off for an hour or two and then go into the tank with a small dim led flashlight find the fish you want to take out and then net them. I generally try not light up the tank or keep the flashlight pointed in the tank to long just enough to see where the fish is and to see where the net is. Don't know if this will help or not...just what I have found to be easiest.

I had the same problem with my Flame eating my coral. VERY EASY way to catch him....put his favorite coral that he is picking on in a pop bottle trap! Worked for me in 10 minutes!!!!!! (See my thread if you want to see a picture). Seriously.........it works!

Lights off with a RED LED light works real well for me.
