catching a Damsel in reef tank!

[clammer]

Please HELP!!! Have a heavily stocked reef tank and have tried everything to catch a Domino Damsel. Tried a fish trap, tried nets let over night, dont want to take down but the little sucker is really getting mean!! Any ideas? HELP!!

don't know how many fish you have in there. Let your fish get hungry. I left the net in for a few hours, and then dropped in a live brine shrimp. It wasn't too hard. I used a few nets to keep the others away and scooped him up. GOOD LUCK

I just took him out with a couple others when I moved my tank had everything out quite easy that way.

I rented a clown trigger to remove my starter damsel.... I know, I know not nice.... But I did not want to take apart my whole tank.
