Best way to remove damsels?

[eliterecon14]

Is there a easy and great way to remove damsels from a tank as I would like to trade them in by Friday. Is it even possible to catch them without disrupting the live rock, and uh other things, and feather dusters?
Thanks.............................................................................................

Some people have luck with mirros. the fish tries to atack its own picture and gets distracted. If you're using a net let it hang in the tank for a while to let the fish get used to it. I hope you don't have your heart set on getting alot of money for a trade in though....

I had to remove a mean little yellow tang a few months ago. I had the same problem, I couldn't catch him without disrupting everything! I used a fish trap (LFS rented it to me for $20, then found I could buy one for $60--a good thing to have in case). You have to have some monofiliment line to drop the door, so you have to be there, but it worked. He couldn't resist the bit of raw shrimp I tied to the inside back wall of the trap!
