How is your Karate Kid "Crane Kick Stance" move? :lipssealedsmilie:

Seriously we found that lowering the water level and then doing it when they were sleepy worked. It was definitely an exercise in futility before that.

I had to pretty much tear my entire tank down, take out all the rocks and other fish, just to catch my damsel. I think anyone who has tried feels your pain right now. LOL

I was thinking about putting a piece of krill in a big net and hoping he would swim in and I could nab him. Haven't tried yet.

I'm trying to catch a little chalk bass and tiny 6 line wrasse. I have one rock left (out of 90lbs) in the tank and it's coming out tomorrow to get the dang things. I can only imagine a damsel. I also arm myself with 2 nets, both the biggest size I can get in my 75g tank.

I say take off and nuke the thing from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Kidding... have you tried the 'fish traps' that Dr F&S sell? I don't know how well it would work, but it must be better than destroying an entire tank.
