Want out! Wrasse!

[fishmanstan]

hi. I have a 120(4'), with 2 BW clowns, 2 Bangaii cards, 4 chromis, 1 Y tang, 1 dusky jaw, 1 x-mas wrasse.
everyone gets along fine, except, I just found my mandarin dead this morning, with BITE MARKS IN FINS. after introducing him, i saw the yellow tang take a nip at him, so i immediately turned off the ligths. the x-mas wrasse is a terror and he has killed/eaten about 30 snails/hermit crabs, which is more than 1/2 of my total population. I want to catch teh wrasse, but he is big-3.5-4", and I may want the tang out-3-4".
how do i do this? they both HATE the net...
thanks

also, the tang and wrassse follow each other, like partners in crime.

I believe xmax wrasse likes to hide itself thru the nite at the same spot. Observe a few days n u will know. Net where it sleeps. For the tang u probably need a fishtrap to catch it. I do have success with a net in one hand n feed with the other. Try feed the favorite food the fish u want to catch.

May have to tear apart the tank to get them out... Worst case scenario, but if it comes down to it you gotta do what you gotta do. I've had to resort to taking out all my rockwork before to catch a crafty fish

I don't know where the wrasse goes...
