Default Catching a flame Angel?

Recently my flame decided to chow a bunch of my coral and now I want him out. I have tried the fish net with food in it and no luck just wondering what anyone else has done to catch fish. If all else fails I guess I will just have to get out the harpoon

Try a tiny size 22 fly fish hook baited with mysis. (get at any tackle store that sells fly tying material) and about 3 pound test line. Just remember to snip the barb off the hook with needle nose pliers first. Then use the pliers, or better hemostats, to grab the hook and turn it over so fish falls off. You never have to touch the fish.

I second the hook and line. Works like a charm! Just make sure you don't catch the other fish first!
