Catching Gold-Headed Sleepers

[Swimfest]

My gold headed sleeper gobies are causing chaos in my tank. They are putting sand in my water column and dumping it on my coral. What is the best way to get them out of the tank? They are fast and I don't want to tear down my live rock.

Good luck with this, they are nearly impossible! The only way I know is to lower your water level to almost bottom, saving the water, then capture. But the best way is to not put them in the tank at all.

yeah i realize that now. unfortunately my tank is 240 gallons nearly and a little over 300 total volume. this wouldn't work.

Unfortunately, they are, in my opinion NOT trappable.
