Take a 20 ox bottle of coke and cut the tappered mouth piece off of it. Take
the actual part where you drink from and stick it inside of the other side
of the bottle. (This is a makeshift trap). you can secure it with a drop of
crazy glue. Put the contraption aside for 2 or 3 days while you alow the
fish to go hungry. Put food inside the bottle and submerge it. The damsil
will go in for a tasty treat and will be unable to figure out how to
escape...
The trick is to make sure he is HUNGRY.
Good luck

I had to get rid of my damsels - man that was fun. I literally took
every live rock out of the tank to get them. But it was a blessing in
disguise because I rearranged the rock, and made the tank look better
in the process. But I like the fish hook idea!

I pulled out the dragonnet, but the damsil is hard to catch. I tried
floating some food with the net ready, but damsil is quicker then the
hand.

I see that there are fish traps. Do they work? Any other ideas?
