It is already too big for the 29 if it is picking off your fish stock. If you really need to keep it, put it in the sump of the 225. Make it a display sump of sorts. Find a nasty crab, sump it. Find a nasty coughdamselcough put it in the sump. Crazy coral banded shrimp to the sump!!!!!!!

No... I said in the future :) He will actually grow larger than the dimensions of a 29. Ours would have his antennae touching both the front and the back of the 55g at the same time. He was HUGE.... But if you want small fish, he's gonna have move being it's such a small environment.
What do you have in the big tank?

He might nibble on those shrimp a little....
And that yellow clown goby and anything similar in size.
Do you hand feed him? That's how I "tamed" mine. He was much less aggressive when fed.

Give him his own hunk of something. Hand deliver. Then he doesn't even get involved in the feeding time war and it seems to keep some of the competitive fight out of them. At least that what worked for me.
