I know keeping certain gobies can be challenging. If you provide enough hiding spots and food should be good. I also heard pink spots like to hassle shrimp and hermit crabs.
One rock I was able to get out had at least 2 dozen that I could easily see. I soaked it a bucket of vinegar for a week and they all crawled out and dead on the bottom.
I do hear you, don't want to pull all my rock and get new starting a cycle. Not mention I would lose many corals because i will...
Not as easy as it sounds. I have coral where the vermatids are in between or burrowing up through caps, pavona, etc.

This does suck.
