Mine is always hiding in the rocks and I bought him 4 weeks ago. My tank is in my loft so from time to time I can look up and see him doing his deed but if I walk up to the tank he shoots back into the live rock.

My Diamond Goby only hide for two days. He only hides now at night, any light in the room and he's out shifting the sand.
Hows your rock put in your tank? Any shifted? I hope it didn't dig under and get trapped.
Mines right on the bottom and the sand in front. Very little behind since I can't see back there anyway.

I have about 130lb of live rock in my 75g so there's not telling where he hangs out all day. I did get a glipse of him today but the dogs scared him.

I purchased a diamond goby just resently...it was much smaller than any I ever had before...it hid for 4 weeks, I was sure it was dead. Everyone kept insisting it must be in there if I hadn't found it around the tank to have jumped...
Well my sister said she saw it..I didn't. A week later it was out..and has been out and sifting sand ever since. I figure it needed to be sure the tank mates wouldn't hurt him, everytime a fish swam near, he darted back into the rocks, that first week when he came out. Once he was sure he was safe, he is a happy as a goby can be.
The yellow wrasse I purchased at the same time has yet to show himself....

**************************************************
I know what you guys mean about the rocks ,but I put light defuser on the bottem then the liverock followed by the live sand to avoid a colapse when adding a digging fish.
I sat in front of the tank for 2 hours,no sight of him.
its a waiting game
