Hey guys, is there an acutal effective way of catching the little buggers? I know it would be best to move all the live rock, but what if you have a TON of it? Also, these fish that I would like to remove would be my 2 damsels because I would like to add a school of Chromis, which brings up a question. IS there a certain fish that schools, that a damselfish wont kill? I"ve had chromis before but my damsel killed them. Any suggestions? Cheers.

Have you tried using a fish trap? Either store bought or DIY? You usually end up catching more than you intended, but if you keep a bucket of tank water nearby and put the ones you didn't mean to catch in there, you'll avoid catching them again and again. exercise patience and you should get him.
Here's a link for a DIY trap:
