Need to remove a Yellow Clown Goby
This is a first for me. I have a beautiful Yellow Clown Goby, but he's eating my acros at a break neck speed. What are my options for removal? 150g display with 300 lbs of rock. Lots of places for the little bugger to run to, so I guess a trap is in order. Any recommendations?
Thanks! Scott |

This is an easy trap that works: http://www.floridadriftwood.com/fish_trap.htm
Good luck. I had the same problem with a couple of them a few years ago.

Oh, I am glad to hear that little habit! I am---was---thinking of getting one. It's the sand-gobies for me, for sure!
If he has a favorite food [besides acros] try feeding it in a net, takes several days of confidence-building. Coke liter bottle cut at top and insided out will also make funnel trap, hard for some critters to figure out.

I caught mine with a clear container, he'd taken up constant residence on a plate coral to the point of recession so I put the container over it and got him, took a lot of tries and this was in a nano.

scare it into a piece of coral that is on a small rock then take it out of the water and shake it over a net

I've tried to do that a few times, but he keeps running into the rocks. I was thinking of tieing a piece of this sewing thread around one of the branches of acro and lifting it out that way so that my big scary hands don't run it off!

At night is the best time, I took the acro colony where they liked to sleep in and shake them off.
