clown goby destructor

[RobinsonFam1]

We have a 5 gal. mini bow and we recently introduced a cute clown goby ( we thought to be harmless) that we have nick named master of destruction. Our goby seems to like our pocilipora and now has developed a taste for montipora. He also perches in our (once pretty) candy cane stalks.

I guess my question is has any one else had problems with this particular goby? and is there any solution? Getting rid of him has crossed my mind every day this past week... but I do want a small fish of some sort.

Is there any thing that can be done to promote regrowth of the corals?

hehehehe i have one of those too but he's not so destructive. he likes to perch on the rocks, leather and clam in my nano. if he gets on something you dont want him to be on try using a turkey baster and gently move him. after a few times i think they learn i could be wrong though.

well try it but i am at the point the only thing i see in this Goby's face is pure evil. hehehe.
thanks!

I use to have some type of little yellow goby that loved to eat an encrusting sps ocral I had. After that adventure I swore off gobies entirely.
