Ones in last pic look like eagle eyes, and maybe jokers, or purple Aussie ones

Agreed on the eagle eyes. You guys know better than me about the other ones.

electric blue damsel, he was bad in my 57g so he got moved. He has a buddy with him, a yellow clown goby.
When I put my hand in, he attacks it! Little ****! I really like the color of him under the blues, he really stands out! I know 15 g is too small, but I didn't want to get rid of him. He really stays underneath the opening in the right and comes out when I feed or put my hand in my tank.

well, damsel got moved, put in two peppermints due to the presence of 3 aptasia, and the damsel beat one to death, so he got moved to my 20 gal grown out.
**** damsels, I love how they look but they are so freaking aggresive! And now my 6 line wrasse is keeping my coris from coming out in my 57g. If I could only catch it! Any ideas, without having to pull my rock out? I could do it now though, there are only 4 corals in that tank and 2 are on the sand bed, the other would be easy to take out.

So, do I have to spring the trap, once the fish is in?

Yup. There's a small latch that holds the trap door open. The latch is attached to some fishing line and you basically have to wait.

Took me a while to catch my melanarus but I got him eventually. The trick is to starve them for a day or two. Then when you add bait into the trap with the bait tube, they go right in.

I will admit though that I started to feel like the word ACME should have been written on the side of it lol! I definitely felt like Wiley Coyote for a couple days haha!
