I cannot speak to the behavior of the wrasse, but the goby should be able to escape underneath rocks, as that is where they usually reside. So if the tank has substrate and rocks to find a burrow in, the goby should be fine, if it does not, the tank is not suitable for a watchman goby.

Oh no trust me there is a ton of little caves and things in the sand and rocks and there is pre made burrows from my previous sand sifting goby the goby however isn’t going to the sand bed and is being in the water column so I think my flasher is trying to display dominance

My YWG rarely spent any time in the sand and/or burrows until I introduced a Tiger Pistol Shrimp. He was always swimming around with a "worried" look on his face. He now spends all day doing normal goby stuff.
