I honestly wish i can stab my damsel or catch it and just flush it down the toilet....
don't underestimate the intellects of fish, cuz they actually remember where to go for easy food, and that is right next to the sun coral/acan !!!

i have the same issue.. i just stand guard and chase them away with a long stick or blow them (the bandits) with the turkey baster. my powerheads would just blow away any covering i've tried :-( i have to alternate feedings in order to do this effectively though.

If your tank is big enough, feed on the opposite side of the tank for a while to distract your fish.
OR
Use tweezers and place the food directly into the sun corals' mouths, use smaller chunks so the fish can't get at it.
