    Engineer goby ????????

    I have a couple of these little guys. They love a DSB and to hide under rocks. They will for the most part stay hidden until feeding time (almost any food...flake, frozen) and then they will sort of wiggle out and grab a bite and go back in. They will rearrange your sand to make their home.
