i know just what you're talking about i actually had two of those guys.. (atergatis sp.) anyway they are bad they eat coral.. red=evil..i had to wait for mine to show himself in an easy to catch spot.. what i would do is find where he lives and if you can remove that rock from the water and use boiling water to flush him out.. if you can't remove the rock try using a turkey baster to squirt boiling water into his hole.. when and if he comes out catch him and take him to your lfs they normally have good ways of dealing with them that are more useful then just destroying the animal.. in my case octopus food.. catch the little sucker and good luck
