Crazy Goby Ruining All My Coral! Help!

[Meaty24]

I have this goby (I don't know the name of it), and he scoops up the sand, let's the sand pass through his gills and drops it back down. Well, I have a lot of cool corals on the sand and he spends all day dropping sand all over the good stuff and is killing EVERYTHING. Needless to say, when put a net in the tank and try to catch him, he darts under the live rock.

Has anyone had a goby that was ruining their corals? What do you do here other than point a shotgun at the tank and pull.

Those critters are messy but they keep the sand so clean but it blows all over the place.Try to catch it and sell it.

Try a fish trap to catch him

Yea I don't like that guy, yellow headed sleeper goby, http://liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+31+213&pcatid=213. Depending on when you feed / how often, make sure the fish is hungry and throw a trap in there.

http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/fish_trap.php pretty much the same principle

I just bought a 40 dollar trap to catch him. Great investment....

Any thoughts on a creature that will stir the sand without causing havoc in my tank? I brittle star? Or, will they eat the shrimp, etc?
