Starve him for a couple days.
Turn off the pumps on feeding day.
Put the food in the net.
Hold the net next to the side of the tank. Leave enough room for him to swim in the net.
Gotcha!!

Use Yotes idea of a barbless small hook

See where he sleeps at night and try to get him in the net then. This worked for my clownfish.

turn the lights off for a while and then turn them on and catch it while it is stunned

Removing all the rock is the most effective, but most complicated way. That's how I've always had to catch fish.

fishing hook. Yote has had some serious success actually catching them on a hook
It is a little tank. Just drain most of the water out of the tank where he has little running room. Pump the same water back into tank after you get him out. Even a standard tote trash can holds 30 gallons. Simple, quick and easy. You might find it enjoyable seeing him flop around in little water. Them Damsels be easily unlikeable. Remind you of anyone?
