clown gobies

Help, My yellow clown gobies are eating the flesh right off my sps corals.Catching is not an option because I dont want to tear apart my tank.Are there any predators I can put in there to possably eat them?

Clown gobies are notorious for this. Try a small fish trap. Should work...

my buddy Shiftnation has done it in his reef. the gobies were in his Sps colonies. he got them all out without breaking one branch.
