Hello everyone. I bought two damsels the other day, and now they are attacking my fish. I am so desperate to get them out that I am going to take out all of my LR and my coral. I was wondering if you could all supply me with some minimal island/small cave aquascape!

That really sucks! Had the same thing happen to me with my 29g biocube. It was a velvet damsal, he was the only fish but he picked on my corals and shrimp. He probably would of picked on his self if he could of, I had to remove every thing corals rock and all. I had sugar fine sand in it and also removed that when I removed the damsal didn't like the way it blew around. I started at 11:30 pm and finished at 5:30 am lol good thing budlight was on my team.

One thing about the mean ones, they usually love to eat. Try feeding from a net, the bugger should swimm right in. Snag him and do what you wish!

I have tried :(. I literally broke my tank down before to get them and I couldn't. This time I will make sure I get them.

Have you tried the pop bottle trap? It works for %90 of ppl but it didn't work for me. Starve them for about a week and then put it in there 9 times out of 10 it works.

Don't know how minimal it is, but here's my islands, I've since moved the donut looking piece to the right and it's a big cave now
