Time to Move

Any thoughts on how to catch a goby/pistol pair out of a tank? I want to move them to a different tank.

Hmm, that's a tough one. You might end up having to disassemble the tank. I'd try luring the fish and shrimp into a trap with some food.

I think your right. I know which end of the tank they stay on, so I was going to seperate it off with a piece of acrylic and slowly move the top of the live rock pile, as I think their burrow is now in and around a specific piece of live rock. I want to put a blue throat triggerfish and wrasse in the tank, but I know they'd be too vulnerable with those tankmates. If I find what works, I'll post it on here. Thanks!
