Hi so I have had a yellow watchman goby for about 1 1/2 years now and for the past weeks I have not been able to find him (I have not picked up the rocks to look) so I was wondering if I should be worried. The yellow watchman goby has a pistol shrimp with him and there is a green mandarin fish as well as a lawnmower blennie.
Thanks!
 
Welcome to R2R! Like above, hard to say. Is the shrimp acting normal? Fish can disappear for days or even weeks.

First off, welcome to Reef2Reef!

Now, to answer your question,
Has the shrimp been making himself visible? And if so, try putting food near the entrance of the burrow and see if he peaks out to grab a bite. Gobies are also known to jump if spooked, so check your overflow/sump if you have one and check around and behind the tank, especially if you don't have a lid. Hopefully he's just hiding, but I'd expect you to have seen him at this point

Ok thanks and we do have a lid
