stupid damsel

its not being harrased. I have it in a school of 3 damsels. They are the only fish in the tank, besides a pair of black and white percs. Its not being harased, its probably just curious and swims around the overflow and then gets sucked in. I wanted to put some kind of screen there, but is stainless steel safe?
If there's no way the fish could fit through, then yeah, eggcrate would work.
Ya know, come to think of it, there's a pretty neat baffle/screen setup they use for the pelagic jellies. Basically, there's a low-flow overflow on one or both ends of the tank (they try to keep currents rather "circular" for the jellies), and set and glued (at an angle) to the base of the overflow is a screen, basically on a frame. There's no way any animal can be sucked into this thing because the flow is so diffuse in the mid-reaches of the water column.
Does that make sense?
