Default Red Coris Wrasse Needs Caught

I have a Red Coris Wrasse in my 55 gal tank. He has been a great little guy. He has been starting to change colors into his adult coloration. In the last week he has started munching on my corals. He never touched them in the first 4 months that I had him. Now I want him out. Thing is evertime I go after him he buries himself in the sand and I can't find him. Anyone got a solution? Or do I spend the weekend taking out all the rock so I can get him?

Thanks for any input.

Noel

Here's a tip for you if you can't catch him and need to remove your LR and corals, instead of taking everything out of your tank and putting everything in containers, you can move enough rock out of the way to stick a plexiglass divider in the middle of the tank and then move the rock and coral from one side of the tank to the other side and then catch the fish. Just make sure you move the rock out of the side that the fish is on and it can't get across the divider to the other side.

Husband is cutting a piece of plexi right now. I will have to try to do it on Friday.

Thanks for the tip.
