I think you mean diamond sifter goby. I work at a fish store and when reccomending sifters we reccomend them because they are the best. The other sifters when the get sand in their mouth they go up to dump it and they just stay on the bottom to do it. They will get around to the whole tank they just got to make them selves at home first. How long have you had it and what size tank?

I have had my diamond for about 1 year and he does a great job in my 90... give him some time

I agree with aquaman3680 if he was healthy and eating at the LFS he'll be fine, just give him some time to adjust to your tank.
