Orange diamond goby

I've had one for several months. The diamond goby digs himself a burrough
and at night closes it up. In the daytime he gigs it out. If he's doing ok he's
going to sift your sand bed like crazy so if you see the sand being plowed up
and little piles acumulating you know he's at work. He may have built himself a
home out of sight. Mine also eats spectrum pellets that drop to the bottom
during feeding time. Unfortunately I've found in reef tanks, with all the
bristle worms and such, that if a smaller fish dies on you you'll never see the
evidence as it will be consumed literally overnight.

Thanks for the reply. He seems to be showing up a bit more now than at
first. I've actually cought him a couple times out in the open when the
light is on although as soon as he sees movement outside the tank he
vanishes into his cave but quick. He does seem to be doing his job of
cleaning up the substrate finally though. I wish I could see more of him
as he's a cool little guy.
