Live trap or fast hands with a net...

Use a fish trap with some food inside, Aqua Medic Fish Trap is a very good one to use

Sorry I should have mentioned but the tank is filled with corals and live rock so capturing him is tricky since he is very fast hide in the rocks. Im tempted to break down my tank to capture him.
I plan on placing him into my frag tank once I capture him or possibly returning him to the lfs.

Thanks for the reply, but I have 8 other fish inside the tank that id worry would go inside the trap before the 6 line does.
Maybe some tips here:

I might try a soda bottle trap (after not feeding for a day), removing the entire rock he's hiding in, or trying to catch him after lights out.

Thank you!! The soda bottle might be perfect. I think the 6 line might be the only fish that would fit inside the soda bottle. Ill give that a try.
Now that is brilliant. I have used fish traps before with controllable doors and that has worked, but this idea is better.
