removing a Purple Stripe Dottyback

any ideas on how to remove one of these without tearing down the tank or draining most of the water? I have tried a clear glass with food, and a net and no such luck. he is a little devil and as much as I love his colors and such I love my Anthias more. I have a nice spot for him in a 46 gal. if I ever get that far.

the only other thing I haven't tried yet is the mini fish hook method and I don't really want to go that route.

Get a fish trap and put a small opened clam inside. He wont be able to reisist. They are nice looking fish but a real PIA.
