Default Good way to catch Yellow Watchman goby?

So, I put the Yellow Watchman Gobiy in my allready established tank, till the 150 is set up. Well, Its time. But now I need to coax him out. I acctually thoughht he had passed. Havnt seen sight in over a month. Saw him today. But no way will he poke his head out.

What's a good way to catch him? And any tips for catching a large Yellow Tang?

I think he meant it as a sarcastic type joke, at least I hope so. This comment "Indeed, im still at awe that its still being used" that fragNplug made after would suggest that.

On a side note I believe removal of a lot of rock may be the only way. Although I realize this will probably only happen after about 2 hours of desperately trying to catch the little guy without removing the rock

Oh, I know it was a sarcastic. I was more referring to reading the article

And I think the little guy will just stay in the 45g
