Default Catch Brittle Star

I made the mistake of moving my nearly foot wide green brittle star from the sump to the display last night while I store some frags in the sump. I was worried it would trample them, not sure if that would have happened...I'm new to the coral stuff. Anyway, I've heard they can snag fish and I want to move him back to the sump but I have a ton of live rock and he's pretty snug under a very large piece that can't be moved. I don't want to injure it but it holds on for deal life if I try to grab it. I was going to try to lure it out at night with something tasty but if anyone has any other ideas let me know!

You may want to try luring it out with some silversides.
