Do you have a cat?hello, i am fairly new to reefing and yesterday got a diamond goby. This morning i noticed he is just gone, i’ve heard they’re jumpers and checked the back of my tank and nothing. So far i only have 2 clowns, a few blue legged hermits, 2 conches and bloody mary shrimp. Any ideas where he might’ve gone to?
Mine Burys himself in a cave at night to sleep, but usually out during the day. They are very active fish, so if you do not have a good cover and it got spoked for any reason, it may have jumped. otherwise, could just be hiding, as they do that too.hello, i am fairly new to reefing and yesterday got a diamond goby.

I was just about to message. I didn't see my yellow goby for 2 months, due to it being under the rocks just building systems with a pistol shrimp. If you check around the tank and nothing and you close up the gap, one day you'll be a kid on Christmas day once it reappears like methank you everyone for your help, he’s finally come out!! i will cover the gap on my lid ASAP to prevent another scare like this lol.
I just put in a yellow watchman goby. found it today and fed it " target fed ". Maybe its shy give it a few days if you have algae in the sand I'm sure it will appear. I was going to say surface but.........hello, i am fairly new to reefing and yesterday got a diamond goby.

So a question, what and how do you target feed your watchman? I ask because mine literally NEVER comes out beyond the entrance to his burrow. He does get some food, but doesn't seem like much, and all my other fish are growing a lot faster than he is. I thought about using a pipette to shoot some food into his burrow.
Good! I was going to say not to worry, I had a yellow watchmen go MIA for a year then he popped out of the rocks one day! Saw his pistol shrimp and heard it every now and again but never saw the goby until recently.thank you everyone for your help, he’s finally come out!! i will cover the gap on my lid ASAP to prevent another scare like this lol.
opportunistic feeders is my guess. I have had mine for a year and it wasn't until say 3 months ago that he started coming out and getting active to feed. But he Is alive and looked good for the 3 months I didn't see him, so he found something to eat.
Don't let it discouraged you as one day it may venture out and it'll all be different.
