Mine is a 3 feet... no, they are just irritating ...

Leave it empty for 90 days... ich got no host will eventually die off... then next time buy fish, QT then before adding into your tank... or if you don’t plan to add corals then copper treat the tank.

Agree with Kermit13sg.. damsel is really irritating other fishes. I am struggling to catch it still as mine is 4ft tank..
 

Set a trap

I made my own with a mineral water bottle.. check out YouTube.. they are greedy and they’ll fall for it.. I caught both in less than 2 hours

Certain fishes are hardy after acclimatized to the tank. Clown fish is nvr hardy for new tank. Certain gobies, damsel and chromis are hardy. Damsel is aggressive and hence not a good choice especially when they became oldest resident... And you face issue putting new fishes. Usually I use inverts and slowly move to fishes.

Its better to avoid Damsel..at the beginning. Just based on my experience. It almost killed my blue tang. Now blue tang is in curing stage.

Yes my damsel use to be an AH, but now One of my chormi(dark blue) chases damsel..lol.. it grow double the size of damsel. It’s the boss in my tank, even my tangs or wrasses much bigger than my chormi don’t dare to go near it.
