Help mean damsel (fiji)

he is picking on my wrasse and chromis' and my tank is cycled i want to take him back he i taking over all the live rock set up. he just hides in there as soon as i put a net in and i have literally sat there for an hour the little brat is smart. also when my husband set up the live rock instead of a bunch of cave there are lots of tunnels should i change that if i cant get him out ? or for the betterment of the other fish? thanks for any help

 

Damsels are mean little buggers. Good luck, they can be stubborn.

Coke bottle trap with a little bit of food should do the trick in about 15-20 minutes

 

regarding mean damsel

i got a trap from the fish store and put some flakes in it. It is plexi round and has a guillotine door with a really long fishing line i put the it in the tank with the flake food in there and waited holding the string across the room for an hour and he would not go in it at all all my other fish would but not him i just dont know what to do

 

Wait tip feeding time. Try using meaty foods. Not flakes

 

Set the net in the tank for a while so he gets used to it, then come feeding time swipe him out.

 

Im not gonna lie....its gonna suck...be frustrating....possibly end up taking all rock out and if u can't nav himpossibly take some water out and put water back in.

 

damsels do seem agressive in nature i had a sargent damsel and he took over my whole 55 gallon got rid of him

 

I actually got a small fly fishing hook and ended up getting mine that way but he had to go

 

You could go FISHING...

take a small hook and some small bait and catch that little bugger!! xD ive been told it always works.

 

it does and I used a pice of worm from my tackle box or he just picked it off the hook no matter how stong it was
