Orange shoulder Tang

[James Cardwell]

I have a Orange Shoulder Tang. I have had him for over a year and do not have a large enough tank to keep. Would like some help on how to catch and maybe finding him a new home.

Put a mirror against the glass to distract him(he will try to fight his reflection), and net him out.

Here are a few more pics of him. I am interested in trading him for some inverts. Maybe a harlequin shrimp or some other inverts

Thank you I will try that and let you know how it works.

I’ve always found the easiest way to catch a fish is food. Especially once they’re comfortable in the tank. Just drop in some food and they should all come to the top. Drop your net in and scoop in one movement and you can usually get the fish in the first 2 or 3 tries.
