I feel you, man. I just finished my aquascaping after removing all of the live rocks in order to remove my Hippo Tang.
I was going to use a trap but there was no way I could make a trap big enough for a 6" Hippo inside my 20g nano. Try this and see if it works.

Sure fire....yes......without ripping the tank apart depends......
I had one a few months ago and find that they should be called "Devil Fish"......I hate them so much now!!!!
I had the same problem as you and observed the sucker.....turns out they sleep in a rock.....the same one every night.........find that rock by watching where he goes at lights out and at night pull it out and put it in a bucket......hell come out eventually.
If your lucky, its not the big rock on the bottom of the tank!!!

If SW works like FW in this case:
1. Food in net.
2. Net in tank (shallow).
3. Repeat for 3 weeks.
4. Fish in net.
5. Beer me.

Dottybacks are pretty small, so this might work. Get a 3/4" hose and start a siphon into your sump. Put a filter sock on the drain end of your hose then go hunting.
