it took me 3 weeks,tried everything that was available on the market and also diy nothing worked. this is what i did, started feeding all the fish by hand meaning put your finger in (providing you dont have fish that can hurt you) he will relate your fingers as it is feeding time. then with one hand feeding and the other hand with a big net scoop him, patience is the key like i said it took me 3 weeks, but he is out now.

Yeah, I caught 2 of my 3 damsels at feeding time. They were distracted eating and I had a net in each hand. Still have a damsel that lives in the rocks that I can not catch, but atleast I got out 2 of them.
there are 2 domino damsel. they are very aggressive. they killed my new small athias already. hate them too much. they are also very quick. I just have an advice that dont have domino in your tank.
OMG. That is the bad bad idea. I used to have a med lion fish and he eat 1 my grama bi-color, 4 yellow tail damsels but he ignored domino damsels. I dont know why then I gave him away

See if your LFS has a fish trap they can loan you, try a very small hook with some of their fav food on it, start feeding them from your net so they associate the net with food...these are things I was told to try.
