How to trap an engineer goby

[btackerman]

So I have made the mistake of purchasing an engineer goby, it is starting to show aggression towards my mandarins and I care more about them than the goby’s. Does anyone have any suggestions or DIY ideas on how to trap these fish to get them out. I cannot take apart my rock work since my corals are growing across and I do not want to stress all of the other animals out.

I had a problem with a sixline wrasse, and couldn’t get a fish trap. I cut a soda bottle in 1/2 and flipped the top part inside the bottom part of the bottle. Put some food inside the bottle. It worked

So would you guys say a 2 liter then, I tried a regular bottle and they were to smart but I have caught all on my wrasses lol. They are to the point that I can put my hands in the tank and they like to swim between my fingers now.

Everywhere lol. They see the bottle and then pop out at the opposite end of the tank. Part of me wants to get a spear lol
