How to catch a fish in a well built reef tank?

I haven't yet. Im not much of a pop drinker so I had to go buy some and now I have the task of drinking it all or dumping it

I withdraw my lionfish suggestion.

You don't necessarily need to get a soda bottle. Any jar with an appropriately sized funnel would do. You might have to leave it in the tank for a while until the fish get used to its presence (think of a minnow trap made for freshwater).

In order to keep from having to empty the contents every day (of hermits, snails, less timid fish, etc.) I'd put the trap without the funnel in there until everyone's comfortable with feeding inside it. When you're sure the damsel has no fear of entering the jar/bottle , put the funnel in place.

iI removed my 4 damels by removing all lr...barely had any in my 55g maybe 10-12lbs and stacked rock and different locations and nabbed them 1 by 1! got $20.00 usd store credit for him and got a coral beauty and some hermits!(credit went towards the purchase)

I have too much rock to do this and Im not sure who paid you that much for a damsel when I can buy them for about $3.00
