Okay guys and gals,

I unfortunately bought a powder brown tang a while back. He is pretty, but not very nice. He immediately killed another tang when I got him. Sad, but what's done is done. Well tonight I bought a long nose butterfly. The second I put him in the powder brown is attacking. Anyone have a harpoon? fish trap? anything to catch him? He is just going to attack anything new I put in there, so he must go. It's too late to get a fishtrap anywhere, but he will have my butterfly killed by morning. HELP?!?!?!?! If you can catch him you can have him, or I'll toss him in my 12 gal nano, just until I can find someone that wants him. Please let me know if you have any ideas. I've chased him around the tank for an hour so far, but nothing.

-------------
Thanks for your help!

He's in a 75 display tank, with 40 sump. He was happy go lucky in a smaller tank at the store, but he is not friendly here.

I have a fish trap that works well if you have some sand space to set it up. Your welcome to try and I would be more than willing to take him off of your hands.
