I've never been able to catch mine without draining to tank to the bottom 1". I swear he just morphs into solid rock when it suits him. Several tank moves have involved crab's method of just magically finding him in the new tank via having hitched inside some rock that gets moved over. I even tried the fishing hook and mysis trick, you can read about that little escapade here, I caught everyone except the wrasse .. and .. when I say "everyone" I include myself in that grouping.
 Hardest fish I've ever had to catch. Good luck, you're going to need it!!

I got lucky on my removal. After accepting the fact I'd have to dismantle the reef, the "lil SOB" bully of a six line jumped out of and carpet surfed from the first rock I pulled out. Should have bought a lottery ticket right after.
**note** he only stayed on the floor for seconds before being bagged to go to better home /**end note

I set traps up for mine and it would never go near them. I caught every other fish in the tank but never that evil evil fish. I did get great pleasure in removing it from my 65 in the tank transfer. It now resides in the tank at work where it can do what it wants without stressing out the other bullies with it.

Alrighty, simple enough set up that works quite well.
Trap door which is hooked up to fishing line. Once the fish swims in, drop the line. It also has a hole drilled in the top for food. Basically I put it in the tank, with the trap door held up by my mag float for a day. Then I use a turkey baster to insert some food. Then I wait...and don't leave for any snacks...and then I catch the fish
