ok so ive been reading all the threads in which you talked about this, and laughed hysterically when u were talking about the yellow tang who wouldnt stay out of the bottle. by this point i would be ready to just take everything out, corner them with a knife, and gut em in the tank (i probably wouldnt actually do that but idk)
now to hear that you have eggs is just really sad srry that really sucks :(

I am sooo glad the first advice I got from a good friend was NEVER get a damsel....However you can consider it getting even for biting you to let their babies get eaten as fish food...squirt some garlic on them.

I just had to rib you a little before I go off to work....damsels are beautiful fish...if they just weren’t so mean. Once a critter I have fed bites me…they lose their happy home with me.
Have a good night all ..

They can have them if they can catch them...LOL

It took me moving the whole tank to catch mine, and even after having all the rocks (90 lbs) out of my 55 gal tank, guess what, he stow away inside of the dang rock. Luckly he came out after we were setting the tank back up at the new home. So good luck with catching them.

since they have eggs try making a cage out of egg crate, place it around the eggs and lure them in (should not be hard with the eggs there. Once in close it off and raise them out.

dont worry- you will never get even one fry to survive.
There are a number of folks trying to breed these fish and damsels are very difficult.
If you've even remotely interested, consider purchasing Matt Wittenrichs's book. "breeders guide to marine fish", it has a section on damsels, but pays particular attention to a few species of damsels.
Good luck

THEY HATCHED

LOL...I don't see any though....they must have hatched during the day today....HOW FUNNY.....I am making new SW so when I try to catch them this weekend, if I have to remove rock...I have water to put back IN tank
OH well....so much for trying to trap them by the eggs...
You know what???? After damsels lay eggs....they hatch within a week....just thought I'd mention that...cause now I know it

I promise you their names are "Lunch", not "Future Demon".
But watch the eyes of your current fish who may feed on the larvae... did you see the eyes of the crows in one of the Resident Evil movies?
Muhahahahahahaha!
