How should I get this Golden damsel out of here. It will not allow any corals in the center rocks of the tank. It was even picking off the nice green tips of my Frogspawn. I got the fish when I bought the tank. A net will not work unless I remove all of the rocks. Darn

Damsel's - PITA they are, had 3 of them the nice blue one's. Keep each other busy chasing each other and fighting every now and then. Could not place "anything" directly" in their "area" or they would just knock it over.

They are quick and "smart" and the only way is to take almost everything out of the tank that they can hide in.


good luck

In that tank, you've probably got two options. Tear down the tank, or employ a fish trap. The trap will take a good amount of time I imagine, but may be worth it over ripping the rocks out of the tank.

I took out all the rocks and caught the fish. Rocks are back but I covered up the tube worm.

Well, it's out I guess. That's a plus!
