My tang came out surprisingly easy with the right trap. I think it depends on the personality of the fish. My guy was pretty bold and aggressive, so after the trap had been in the water for an hour or so, I put food in it, and he was trapped inside of 5 minutes. I used an AquaMedic fish trap that i picked up at a LFS here (but you can get them online too), and it was super easy.

Catching anyone else after they've seen the tang fall for it... good luck.
