Well worst fear happened the PT needs to got back to the fish store in exchange for a dwarft angle. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to catch it w/o dystroying setup or injuring the fish?

Get some acrylic and stick it in the tank to block off parts of the tank, so it can't swim away. Or get a fish trap with food in it, maybe it will work.

do a search for "fish trap" under the DIY forum. I recently posted one I built very easily and inexpensively that I used to trap my yellow tang. It will work, just don't feed the tank for a couple of days.

There isnt a fish that I would not prefer trying to catch besides my PT. Save yourself the trouble and consider re-aquascaping now!
