Diamond watchman Goby

[StPatrick89]

This might be a dumb question, but I got a diamond goby yesterday and he’s of course dug his hole now. He was out earlier but now it seems he’s been in all day and the area he dug is get covered up, will he be able to find his way out? How long before I should go looking for him?

They cover their entrance at night so predators can’t get in. They can also stay hidden for several weeks when first introduced to a tank. I would never suggest going to look for them as you are more likely to injury them. Don’t worry they won’t get stuck they are monster sand movers.

Good diggers in my experience.

I just added one to my tank 3 days ago and I am amazed at how much better the sand looks already. He is a worker that's for sure. He hid the 1st day and hides when the light goes out but is active all day and doesn't seem the least bit shy. I really like this fish.
