Best way to move a powder blue from a reef???

If the fish is still small the best thing is an inverted Pop bottle with an air pipe at the bottom for food adding with the suringe.
I did not belive it my self before , but it worked like a charm for me.
It took longer to built one than to catch the fish !

And after i got it in, the trap is so transparent that lemon peel angel was still eating when i pulled the trap up to the serfice.

With heavy traps it will take days to get fish acustomed to it , piop bottle works in 30 min.

I caught my lavender tang (he's small 2-3") in a little feeding cup that I use to scoop up tank water with to unthaw the frozen mysis in. I wasn't trying to catch him, he just swam in as I was lifting the cup out. Luckly I noticed right away and got him back into the tank with no problems.
