Catching Siamese algae eaters

Is there any way to do it without draining my tank down close to the bottom, removing removable plants and sponges and chasing them around my 125 Rainbowfish tank?  I have 6 in there and they have done a job on my black hair algae.  I'd rather catch 3 of them and move them to my 100 gallon tank multi species tank where I'm having a problem with it.  If there is no easy way I'll just have the LPS get more for me but I'd rather put what I have to good use.

That sounds interesting, Greg.  Have you ever seen a container like that?  I haven't.

Seek and ye shall find.  I discovered this on Amazon.  It's for food storage so it should be fish safe.  https://www.amazon.com/mDesign-Plastic-Stackable-Storage-Container/dp/B01LXA8IAV?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_9  Shoot, I may even be able to catch some of the smaller snots in the tank.

I just got a shipping update on the stupid thing which may or may not work.  It Won't be here until next Wed.  Does that suck or what?
