Wait 'til he's sleeping and then scoop him up in a big ziplock bag.

If you can come by to Yorba Linda,
I can borrow you my fish trap.

I saw a fascinating post, I think by Anthony Calfo on the MD Forum, that suggested the following:

(1) create a low spot in your sand bed
(2) using a spare pump, pump out most of the water from the tank (yes, almost the entire tank)
(3) just scoop up the poor fishy from the remaining water in the low spot
(4) refill the tank with the same water.

He said that exposing the corals to air for a little bit was no big deal.

or you could just rent a fish trap at a LFS for 5 bucks a day . It's much, much easier.

I agree with the last post. I rented one from my LFS to catch a lizard blenny.

Worked great!

Hmmm...now where to find a 330 gallon tub while I try this.

Just use your living room floor!
