Thanks Steve, hope he began to be more sociable soon...
Juan Pablo, I guess he is all right, but I´m beginning to worry. Lots of contradictory information on the web. They say that it is carnivore, others say that he feeds on live fauna at the sand bed mostly on copepods. If he feeds on copepods I guess that it is trouble, my tank has only like 6 months old and already had a mandarin that died because on lack of copepods. In other places it says that it is just like the diamond goby which is also described as easy to keep. Any advice, I´m worry about my tank´s size but I have a refugium which seem to be full of worms and fauna. Any advice…

Harold,
Hope this helps, it's not a Diamond Goby on the video but it's the same Genus so it must be similar feeding style.

Thanks Juan
I guess I will wait and see how it goes. Yesterday night I feed him some instant ocean brine shrimp gel but because he is very shy I saw him eating only one byte. He established his home under the brain coral and when he comes out the territorial clown bother him so he just return under the brain coral. I hope that the clown get used to the new goby there…

Harold - I think once the new goby gets used to things he'll come out and grab food when you feed, plus maybe do some sand sifting as well. Fish often take a while to get used to a new home. I don't think it will be as dependent on target feeding as a mandarin, when he gets over his shyness. Fingers crossed!

You should call Jorge and tell him about this, so he can know that there is a problem in case you need to get the fish back.

I don´t know if there is a problem with this fish. The thing is that I didn´t think it was hard to keep. I guess I should wait and see if he becomes more sociable, because then it will be easier to feed.
I was wondering if I should move the brain coral so that he gets out of there and maybe find another home were I can feed him without the clown bothering him, any advice…
