Midas blenny eating red planet

Need to catch this booger. I've looked to find his sleeping spot but can't find it at night. Any suggestions?
 
What I did to catch my fish was to leave the net in the tank for a few hours so they got use to it. Then I would throw some food in and when they all attacked the food I would swoop in. Works better with two people.
 
had to use the inverted bottle trick to catch me leopard wrasse once, I took out every rock in the tank and still couldnt catch her. Just cut the top part off of a 2 liter bottle,Remove the sticker and invert it, throw your blennys favorite food in there and avoid feeding(might be a bit difficult for you though considering blennys eat algae and this one likes your corals, could take him alot longer to get hungry enough to go in.)

Seems like alot of trouble but its super easy and you dont have to keep your eye on the trap as it takes the fish awhile to figure out how to get back out, Wish ida done it before spending 3 days trying to catch the wrasse the old fashioned way
 
yeah I thought about doing a couple of the water bottles in the tank. I guess I'll try that first. Considering my tank is 11 feet long and has a few hundred pounds of rock and coral, there's no way I'm taking all the rock out

indeed even with a 40 breeder it was not a pleasant experience. I can only imagine trying to get something out of an 11 foot tank. Good luck to you!
