I did have one for about 2 weeks then he jumped out of the tank and became a doggie treat one night/morning. If you get one be sure you have a proper fitting lid or cover for the tank. They will find the smallest holes and get out. I had eggcrate covering mine and the lil guy still got out.
I purchased him because my sand needed cleaning and he did a great job at keeping it cleaned up. I have read that some people will return them because they stir up too much sand in the tank, but I never had a problem with that.

Have one for four months now. He has tripled in size and eats like a pig.
From day one he would sift or dig all day long and go into a hole at night.
First light and off to work he goes. Which includes, Excavate under every rock, gather all my snails and throw them in a hole, stack all the little pieces of rock and bury the clam or anything else on the sand that can't be moved.
But my sand is always white

.He may still show himself fellers, when I added my leapord wrasse I saw him that whole day (the day I added him) and even watched him bury himself in the sand when my liights wenr out that evening. But didn't see him for about a week after adding him. I thought he was gone for sure, but yay! He's here lol I hate losing fish so I'm glad he's still around.
I have had my diamond gobie for almost a year now, he has a couple "houses" under the rocks. He does a great job cleaning the sand. I do have to constantly dust off corals from the mess he makes, but its worth it. I did lose him for 3 days when he decided to go over the overflow, but thankfully he survived and is doing very well in my tank.
