The easiest way is to us the betta box. Leave the box in the tank for few days and let the PT/other fishes used to the betta box. During this time feed your food inside the betta box. I am sure you will be able to catch ur PT.

When i want to catch my chromis i tried many ways and this way i was able to catch all the chromis in my tank. I just clipped nori/marine algae inside the betta box and my PT always go in to eat the nori.

if cant then i get from u all

What i did was i cut a soft drink bottle at the mouth and a small hole at one of the sides near the bottom of the bottle. Attach the trap somewhere in the tank with the small hole facing up. (I used a clothes peg and clip it to the side of my tank) Leave it in the tank for one day and start feeding the fishes from the small hole.

the fishes might not dare to enter the bottle at first so try feeding them near the opening. carrying on feeding for 1-2 days more till the fishes are no longer afraid of the bottle. once your purple tang enters the bottle, cover the opening with a net at voila! you got your tang!!

This is the Betta box. There is a sliding door that you can tie a string to pull it up and after ur fish enters the box just release the string. Pretty common in LFS here, cost around $15-$20.
