Purple Fire Gobies Not coming out!

[lubeck]

I got them yestarday... flame all you want I don't q/t my fish there the last ones anyway. I saw them for a bit yestarday but ever since about 2 hours after I added them I cannot find them. i did see they were going under a rock in the back of the tank but they have not come out once that i could see.
Is this normal?
Are they jumpers? I didn't read anything that says they do.
I tried feeding them and didn't come out either.
any comments or experience with these guy's.

I just bought one a couple months ago. He hid under one specific live rock for about 3 or 4 days, then he slowly moved out into the corner of the tank near his hiding spot for another 3 or 4 days. So hopefully in about a week he'll be out and about. He still likes his secret hiding spot now and then.

I have a red and purple firefish and they both hid for awhile and when they started coming out, would shoot back when they saw any movement. Now they are happy and stay out and look forward to feeding. They are the best of friends.

Other Tankmates are: 2 false pers, 2 cinnamon clowns, 1 blue reef damsel, 1 mandrin gobie, 1 Regal Tang... Oh yeah, 2 purple fire gobies that I can't find. Are they "bigger" jumper than a Diamond Goby?

I was wondering because if theres alot of active fish in with them then they hide more and are more likly to jump untill they get used to everything.....cant say if it more or less than a DG...most any fish can jump.
