Pink&Blue Spot Goby.

Ok. I want to know if anyone else has had this problem:
I've only had 2 gobies. One was a yellow watchman that was incredibly agressive and died when it choked on a piece of food it stole from my fingers.
My current pink spot goby is developing the same attitude. It hides in its cave all day, and when I come near the tank, it swims to the top of the tank and chases my chromis and clowns away. When I feed them, he will literally attack them [[and he bites me as well]]. This has been going on for 2 weeks or so and now my clowns refuse to come out of their corner.
Has anyone else had such an aggressive goby? I thought they were somewhat peaceful.
For the sake of my other fish, I'm planning on removing him. If anyone has any tips besides removing all the rockwork, I'd appreciate it.

I had a pink/blue spotted goby for about 5 months. All s/he did was stay under a rock, and it did open it's mouth towards other fish that swam near it. I seem to recall someone else posting that theirs ate a firefish. In one of scott michael's books he does say the PB is one of the more aggressive shrimp gobies.

Mine ate the firefish while acclaimating together in the same bucket.
