He only likes the really big, expensive and rare SPS colonies. Won't touch frags.

If the SOB touches my prized green milli and A. desalwii colonies again this might happen :evil: I swear I almost skewered the bastard today when I saw that.

But then I reminded myself that I'm the bigger fish and above that...

Ah! Finicky eater!

I am not sure whether it will work but you can try the net trick :)

So far the net has only led to me looking like a fool and a lot of cussing :razz:

Last resort, seal the hole of that, according to your term, SOB's hangout and let it suffer! :twised:

Naw, it's an endless network of tunnels. Might as well fill every nook and cranny on the rock with epoxy.

I saw someone propose the use of vacuum cleaner :|

Similarly, you can put a hose near its territory and just suck the sucker up! (And don't stop if you like sushi ;) )

Desperate time calls for desperate measure. And removing rocks to catch a fish then cause nutrient spike??

Not worth it

I used a very small hook and line to catch a wrasse. His mouth healed in a couple of days.
