I'm not sure exactly how you got yourself into this
situation...but regardless

the quickest and easiest way if you cant outright catch him
is to drain the tank. Yes drain the tank all the way down, the rocks and coral will be fine for the time it takes.

Once the water level is down to about an inch or two, just reach in and grab the fish, then fill it back up.

You will of course need someplace to put the water.

you can do the two liter bottle trick, but that tankes time. If it were me I would stay in front of the tank with a net, feed all the fish, when the damsel comes up for food, you have to snatch him quickley, this worked for me.

I used this to catch a wrasse.

Don't feed for a day and put a net in the tank and leave it there. Then feed some nice mysis or something that the damsel really likes. Put the food in the very top corner of the tank and when the damsel comes up to grab food, scoop him up.

Works for me.

The fish's greed for food will overcome his fear of the net.

+1 on the net catch. My damsel swims INTO my net every day. That's the only way he eats.

dngspot- I made the trap you showed me and I am hoping that when I get home I won't everyone else caught except the damsel I want to get rid of.

I'll let you know later !
