Thanks for the input Bill, love my kole but he's a real dork.
Will see how it goes in the next few days, the only way I'll catch him is to do a complete rescape but would rather not have to go there, but I may have to.
There may be a really nice Kole tang FS soon.

2-3 weeks in sump detention usually does the trick. After that, he's the new guy in the tank and usually is well behaved.

Yep I've heard of that method and it would probably work, the problem is try to catch him in a 2 year old reef tank without having to take all the rock work out.
But I am happy to say he's has mellowed out towards the new flame angel now he's only a little bit of a dork like usual. My clown fish pair are now acting like jerks some what but nowhere near as aggressive as the Kole.

A red light LED flashlight, after the lights go off is all you need (and a fish net of course) and you'll see that's not a problem to catch a fish in a reef tank. I got a red light flashlight specially for this kind of situations.
