I personally have never had a problem catching the Chromis...but 3 stripe damsels, blue devils, and the other aggressive damsels are a real pain to catch without tearing down the entire reef. Generally they are removed because they can make keeping other peaceful reef fish a problem.

I also have never wanted to remove chromis, I think they make a great addition to a reef...almost a must have IMO...but forget about the rest

I would focus on your equipment and continue to take your time on the fish.

Here's some good advice...spend the fish money on a refractometer. Hydrometers should not even be sold. I just spent the last few days bringing my SG down to .024, it was over .031 AHHHHHHHHHH!!! **** hydrometers, all 3 of my hydrometers were reading .007 points off! I noticed some corals looking a little rough so I took my hydrometers in to the LFS to have them tested against a refractometer, and we found them to be way off along with the LFS in store hydrometers too!

My next buy: a refractometer
One of my first buys should have been: A REFRACTOMETER!
