Thanks, I like their look too but I don't know anything about their behavior.
Could you please tell me more on their personality, e.g Do they sift sand or stay hidden in their burrow most of the time?

Mine shifts sand around his cave....but not the whole tank....but then again he's well fed...hehe....he looks like a cross between bulldog and a frog .....a face only a mom can love ....just adorable , and he never bothers any other fish , just "protects" those who want it

and he's out and about most of the time, not hidden , but within 3-4" of his cave all day...and during feeding time he's quite active...so cute !

I have a pink spotted watchman goby. He's out ALL the time. He isnt paired with a shrimp, but he lets the cleaner shrimp hang all over him and give dental exams. He sifts most of the tank's sand too.

It is a beautiful goby, I've seen one last time I went to my LFS.
I've heard they may be aggressive, any problem with yours?
How big is your tank?

I like my Yasha Haze Goby, I really like his coloration. But him and his shrimp buddy hide a lot, so if you want an active goby, don't get this.
Yes, I'd like an active goby, still thanks for mentioningthis one because I did not know it and I wnet to see how he looks, a beauty!

I like my diamond gobie the best. He does only sift about a three inch range from his cave. I added a baby yellow face and he started taking a three foot territory over ! The pink spotted gobie can be very territorial as far as gobies go ( which isn't too far ) they can also get 6 inches but I think they are the most attractive.

Yep, Diamond gobies are really fun to watch moving sand around. They are not the better looking but it seems they are the most active and entertaining...
