Gotta get my lemon peel out. He started nipping at my corals. Used to be able to hand feed him but he knows whats up and won't come near me.

There are some fish traps you can buy - I know there is a thread about it but I couldn't search for it at the time (server issue).

Also, I had great success doing this. Get a large retangular clear plastic container like those used in the LFS to hold fish when they transfer them to a bag. Attach it to the upper inside corner of your tank. Put it in lengthwise down so fish could easily swim into it. Then for the next week any food you place in the tank should be in this container. Fish will start swimming in to eat and get confortable doing so - No fear. Wait at least a week don't rush it. Then after a week feed the fish and when the angel goes in just quickly tilt the container to the surface and you've caught a fish. Or when I tried it 3 damsels and a tang at the same time.

Variations on this same approach can be very successful

Good luck

Sounds like a job for Captian Karls tropical fishing charters.
(I heard he make house calls)
