fish trap, or a tiny fish hook. I bought on once small enough for a tomato clown, should work for damsels. Although my clown never took the bait.....

I used the smallest fly from my tackle box. I pinched the barb and cut alot of the hair off and put a piece of shrimp on the hook.
Two hits.... and one tomato clown in the bucket. Off to the LFS we went.

Put a fish that will eat them. That what I have done before when a damsel in my 55g become aggresive (I remove my shrimps and other fish that my lion can eat put them in other tank and scope up 2 of my lion and drop it in the 55g and after a few minutes damsel are gone) from that day on I only buy damsel as a feeder fish
