Catching an eel
Any suggestions, he is about 12" long (Stupid impulse purchase) I never see him except when I feed him (With very long tongs) He Must Go he took a good chunk out of one of my clowns
 I dont really want to put my hands in there to take out all the live rock, i am afraid i will get bit  Willing to trade for anything exccept YTBD, dont worry, if you have them he will get rid of them for you  he has already eliminated my three.

LOL! i was in the same boat, hahaha!
but i did get him out of my tank, and YES it bit me. I was wearing those arm length aqua gloves and he pierced a hole in it...  they're fast.....but if you got 2 nets it wasnt too bad once you get it trapped in a corner. maybe try to bait'em out with a silverside in the net or feed him till he wont eat, then he wont be as aggresive.... good luck. Al.

What type of eel? If it eats inverts you dont need to really worry about it biting you. It its a fish eater be careful. Try luring it near the surface with a silverside then scoop him up with a net. Make sure it doesnt jump out. Good luck.

Maybe try building a long fish trap out of pvc piping. Block one end & have the other end in a place where you can quickly block it off with a net or piece of LR or something. Place some food inside in the evening & see whether the eel won't find this new "home" too tempting to ignore, especially if the dinner table is already set. Just a thought.
Anthony Good luck with the great eel hunt
