Rookie,
You might have to remove some of the rock and then put a divider in the tank to corner the little $%$$.
you are sooo lucky you can keep LPS on the sandbed. I tried to introduce a hammer after removing my falcula butterflies which destroyed my LPS but more importantly taught this bad behavior to the rest of my angels. Time did not change anything...within 30 secs of adding the hammer, the blueface angel was nipping and knock the coral over, so I removed and placed in my 75g coral tank...
I may have to come to the conclusion that my 375g tank is going to be a true FOWLR tank, which im ok with. The only thing I haven't tried is soft corals. Maybe these will taste noxious and will leave them only? if not, then will leave coral less OR get the coral inserts and put in tank

I recently had to catch a cherub angel. I built an acrylic trap, tied some string to it, and waited it out. I put food in the trap as well. What trap are you using? Other fish will be enticed to go in, and that will make the angel feel comfortable eventually. It's very much a waiting game. It took me from morning until the late evening to catch him. If you are able, put the trap near an area the angel most frequents. I hope that helps.

That's something I'm trying to stay away from lol.
I got a cricket house from Petco I rigged with a piece of line to pull the door close. Been in for a week or so. I feed in there which all the other fish don't mind but the angel is being difficult.
Yay!

Not too many Issues. But If any do pop up, I remove the aggressive fish. I recently removed my asfur angel due to some aggression, and rather reclusive nature. That combo was not worth keeping him. I've tried to mix fish that are generally regarded as less aggressive. Which is why angels like emps, queens, blueface, etc are not on the list.
