i have a yellow headed moray eel and i dont really like him that much cause he ate all my other fish and he only comes out when hes about to get fed. So i want to get rid of him but the thing is i dont want to take out all my rocks and drain the tank just to catch him, thats just too much work, plus its stressful to to the other tank inhabitants and me! so does anyone have a trick on catching an eel or any suggestions? i was thinking about bateing him into a pool net or something of that sort. thanks in advance

that may work. what i did when catching an old snowflake i used to have was i picked up the rock he was under and he immediatly swam out i tried netting but missed finally he swam into a cave with one entrance/exit i just piked up the rock with him in it and shook him out into the bag. try the baiting first they have terrible eyesite maybe he wont see the net. good luck just be thankful its not a dragon wrasse or other quick burrowing fish
