In my moms tank she has a diamond goby.In her tank there is always a light on either a daylight or moonlights. This diamond goby is fine with 3 watts on moonlights but if the light go completley out he goes nuts. He starts jumping, hitting the tops, filter surfing. Then my mom get a flashlight shines it at the tank and hes fine. Is that crazy or what?

predators lurk in the darkness, no doubt he is very nervous when things turn black. In some cases such as this moon lights have an important purpose.

+1 on the predator theory. lol maybe it's having light withdrawls... but yeah, for a goby I would think this is pretty common.
