Im in the process of trying to remove a damsel that decided last week that corals tasted good im just short of pulling half my reef apart as the last resort.....any new ideas out there?id like to hear um.

Try feeding and snatching him then. I've never heard of a damsel eating a coral. Did you see him eat it? You might have hitchhikers in you lr if you didn't see him eat them.

I also forgot that turning the lights out is another popular method.

Try using a siphon tube, they come in a varity of diameters or use tubing and make your own. Fish it around and pull a vacuum on that dude.

You could try two nets. If you clear out an open space in the tank scare him over there into the open. Then use a large net to block him from running and a smaller one to corner him and actually catch him.
The downside is that there has to be an open space with no rock otherwise I promise he will get away.

yeah....after you spend an hour and get frustrated/wet enough with your two nets, go borrow a fish trap from your lfs! With a hungry damsel, it'll probably only take a few minutes....mine sure did!
