I am going to try and catch my clown and get rid of him, i am tired of him moving corals, attacking other fish etc... plus I hate that he turned a dark brown on me. What is the best way of catching him and what are the best clowns to host a BTA? I want to put a pair in
 
I've only caught clowns with a net, I threw food in over where I was holding the net and then lifted up towards the top of the water when they swam over.

I find that Percs/false Percs host bubbles really nicely
 
Careful with the nets because thier cheek barb can get caught in the net and hurt the fish. You can always ship him up to me :)
 
I really hate to get rid of him in a way he hosts my BTA so nicely but he is getting to big for my 55g I am planning an upgrade. But man has he become a pain anything I put on that side of the tank he moves

I've always had good luck catching them in a small clear drinking glass. Slowly back them into a corner, and slide the glass over them. The cheek barb is an important warning.
 
after a few hours of lights out turn the lights on quickly and hurry and net them. they are stunned a little by the lights coming on. i do this when i need to catch them.
