No i think im wrong.. They just burrow... This also looks fine for what you want to do.. Though I have never had one to say for sure it wont just hide all the time..
The Tank Bred Luther's Watchman Goby is bred and raised in the USA. It is tan with red spots covering both the head and dorsal fin. The rest of the body is mottled in black spots giving the fish a camouflage appearance. It has the ability to form symbiotic partnerships with most species of pistol shrimp. It provides a watchful eye, while the shrimp digs a burrow and collects food for them to share.
It requires a 30-gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of loose coral rubble, ample swimming room, and a sand bottom for burrowing. It rarely becomes aggressive towards other fish, but it is territorial, and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair. It may try to jump out of the aquarium or other small openings; a tight-fitting lid is required.
The Luther's Watchman Gobies' diet should include a variety of mysid shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, table shrimp, and frozen food preparations for carnivores. It should be fed at least twice per day.
They can collaps your live rock if you dont fasten it down... I used Epoxy to create my reef..
