+1 take him out before he damages anything. Sump him and you could always then entice him with anthing to see if he will eat it. Sort of like testing him

I almost had him last night when I first spotted him. I even pulled out one of the SPS colonies that I actually had epoxied down to get at him. Unfortunately I was close to getting him but not close enough

. He ran under a ledge and sat there taunting me, like he knew there was no way for me to get him. I will keep trying though.

I have one just like this in my tank too. He is about 1" and lives in a spot that I can't get to without pulling all the rock.
So far he hasn't damaged anything and i have only seen him out of his "den" once in 6 months.
I did read on RC that some had sucess with burying a small cup in the substrate next to his den with a piece of food in it. Kinda like a mini pit trap that he won't be able to get out of.
I've yet to try it but it might be worth a shot.
