HELP I need the best

way to take out at least two of my four damsels from the tank they are harrassing my other fish and driving my whitecheek tang crazy.

Any suggestions, and I don't want to hurt them.

I suggest taking them all out, if possible. They're evil little beasts.

Or something like this: http://www.floridadriftwood.com/fish_trap.htm

As well, you could try getting them used to a net during feeding. Maybe even place the food in the net. Then once they get more comfortable with it, you can try to scoop them up. This seems like the method requiring the most patience

I 2nd this idea

A size #20 hook with a 1lb or 2lb line and a piece of shrimp for bait.
Won't cost more than $5.

I'll try that advice one of them has to work.

I would try the fishing Idea just be sure to cut the barb off the hook I had to catch my lantern basslet out after he had a 44$ meal on my cleaner shrimp

I know how that feels my brittle star ate my $15 skunk shrimp. My whitecheek tang kills the live shrimp I put in there for my marine betta just for fun.

Put them in a small quarantine tank
