I added a Longfin Sleeper Goby about 4 days ago. It still won't eat anything, if fact it just kind of stays put in its burrow that it dug and doesn't come out. Any suggestions on how I can get it to eat??

Garlic will help. It is not unusual for new gobys to hide though. He will come out.

Just brine? That is nowhere near enough nutrition for any of them. Take a look at Beth's Common Treatments FAQ located at the top of Disease and Treatment. She has information about making your own food and how to prepare fresh garlic. You can also buy garlic flavor, such as Garlic Extreme, to just entice them to eat. It doesn't have any medicinal benefits but will help the fish to eat. If you do not want to make your own food you can buy frozen formula foods.
