catching sand sifting goby?

[jjoos99]

Has anyone had any success in catching a dragon goby in a fully stocked reef tank? I first made the mistake of installing sugar sand into my sps tank, then my second even bigger mistake was adding a dragon goby into the tank. I have 3 vortec pumps and my water always has floaties all over the tank. Most of it comes from the goby stirring it up and sifting it. I cant figure out how i would be able to catch this guy, are there any suggestions? I could pull all the sand but wouldnt he die of starvation?
thanks
Jeff

How do you lure a goby into a trap? Mine seems to not eat anything but sand so I dont know what would make him want to go into the bottle?

PE Mysis is usually good trap bait. Strong smell, and visually recognizable to the fish as food.
