Other than blue face abuse, things look great. Tangs all look chubby!

You deserve a :beer:

Thanks John...love the blue face, not his nipping.

I just might have to drink a bottle of ale, it seems to help with a kidney stone I'm trying to pass. :0

Think you could catch it with a hook?

I'm going to try the Acclimate box first, but that would make for one heck of a video !

Hope it works!

I had good luck putting a trap in the back corner, with a rock over it,
and scaring the fish I wanted in that direction. They "hid" in the trap.

Good luck!
My method would be to drain most of the water and have at it!!

If the trap doesn't work, get the hook!

You already have the pic of the kids swimming in there. Dress your son up like Huck Finn, bamboo fishing pole and all. :)

Seriously, good luck with the trap.

Heh, I'd forget about the box and just let it sit in the tank for a few days so the fish aren't so timid around it.

Yeah, I'm kinda bummed (it was my wife's favorite fish also). Angels are 50/50 though and even then they can turn on you. I think Bryan did it right...introduce them into a mature SPS dominated tank (and you'll have much better chance of success).

what did you use for bait? Acan juice? LOL :D

LOL... The blue face wouldn't go in initially and my wife said "Why don't you put a coral in there ? "

Kind of like when my lady said she thought all acropora "sticks" were brown. Ouch!
