Good or bad? I've heard both. Vote and say why. Thanks!
(p.s this would be in a reef tank.)

the fish isnt bad. but putting them in the wrong setup can lead to disaster. they get large and like to dig. keep those facts in mind when setting up their environment and they are fine.
No fish is bad, some are hard to keep some arent for begginers but that doesnt make the fish bad.
In my opinion you should have asked is the fish bad for my set up and described the intended home.

I was just curious what people thought of the fish in general mainly. My particular set up would be fine for engineer from what I understand. I am doing a 150 g reef. All the rocks have been placed on eggcrate for stability then the substrate was put down after. Not too worried about it. If I'm incorrect about this particular critter being reef friendly feel free to chime in. ***)

Thanks. I've been doing tons of research about the fish I want to live in my set up and I'm just trying to file it down to certain types. Example: I know I want a Goby, and I have a sand bed. Any other Goby's I should be looking into that would be just as fun to watch as the engineer?

Depends on the other inhabitants that will get added, but a shrimp goby and pistol shrimp are AWESOME to watch.

I've read about their symbiotic (sp) relationship and pistol shrimp look like they become a pretty decent size. The relationship sounds interesting how they share a burrow, etc. What do I need to know about the pistol shrimp besides the basics of an invert? Anything special?

requires a certain size of substrate. That I cannot answer.
