I've had some troublesome fish in the past and use Coralife's "The Trap".
Has worked for me every single time. Caught a couple of large Damsels and a
large Yellow Tang. Works like a champ. One of the LFS around here rents the
trap out for a small fee if you don't want to buy one. I personally will
probably buy one and I'll have it when I need it.
It's the best way to catch them without inflicting any hook damage to the
fish which it may never recover from.
