A lot of gobies are shy. It will take them a long time to come full out in the daylight, let alone night. These are small fish that need to hide from the dangerous predators of the night sea.
My mandarin lays in a sandy cave and looses a lot of his coloration at night and always looks dead, I've had him for a year and I still get upset and thinks he's dead each night.
This is completely normal behavior for your fish. They're actually protecting themselves while they sleep.

I just recently got a fire-fish goby in good health. I acclimated it for 2 hrs 1 hour of temp then another hour of salinity and ph. It was doing fine until nighttime it disapeared. I found it it was laying in a dead barnicle. Then the next day it was fine is it ok?

My 2 Purple Firefish sleep together under a rock. Like, completely under a rock, in the sand.
And my Bluedot Puffer sleeps in the sand bed, completely pale colors. Then he wakes up and swims around with sand stuck to his belly. Sometimes he actually sleeps stuck to the wall vertically, as if he were a pleco.

My 4 fish, 3 Green Chromis and 1 Royal Gramma, all race to their hidey holes in the rock as soon as the lights go out, as if the boogey man will get them if they don't hurry...
