Tricaine methanesulfonate
What is the impact of using Tricaine in a reef to sedate a fish that is unable to be caught? There aren't other fish in the tank just corals and other inverts. Could this be done without other bad things happeneing provided there was a large water change done after the fish was caught?

I am not sure what might happen to the other animals in the tank. I'd watch the pH during treatment, and buffer if needed. I'd use large water changes and carbon after the treatment. How big is the tank?

Also, I think you risk far too much attempting to dose the whole tank. I recommend a trap if time allows.

An Assesor? My bet is that it would find a crevice to hide in once it began to feel the effects of the MS-222, and you’d have to tear the tank apart anyway.
