if you were closer i would help.... dont feeed for a day, put frozen food in a net and leave it there and watch to see if he will go in.. that always worked for me in the past.

Follow marks suggestion, don't feed him. he will be easier to catch when you do feed him. look at the fish catchers, or make one from a 3 liter soda bottle.

Verry simple use the square lighting grid cut to a workable sizefor your tank
corral him or her into a corner and remove with net move slow
this is how i removed mine almost wanted to catch him with a fishing pole
send fish or $100.00 when done lol

This along with the feeding method should catch him in no time. good idea there greg.

I don't think NOT feeding him is a good idea. If he's eating your zoas he will most likely turn to them more than he normally would without regular feedings. The smarter thing would be to feed him more so he eats less zoas until you can find someone who can help you get it out

3 liter soda bottle fish trap with SOme fishing line would work well. Could catch him while sitting a few feet from your tank

Exactly what I was going to say. He will def eat more zoas if he's hungry. Isn't it crazy how zoas and palys are supposed to be so toxic yet fish can eat them without a problem

Yeah, I agree. Perhaps your tang needs more algae to feed on. Try clipping a nori seaweed sheet to the glass and hopefully he'll learn to feed on this all day.
