They do unfortunately sometimes come in at a point where they're past eating. The supply chain is hard on clown gobies and extra hard on baby anything. Make sure he has cover and dim lights, keep a supply of BBS in there, and see.

Yes I lost one recently. I now have another did not like algae pellets or miss shrimp but loved omega one marine flakes
Probably/hopefully full. Tiny fish, tiny stomach. Keep a constant supply of them in there for him to eat, and he should snack throughout the day.
For me I just pour some baby brine and he will eat even with the pumps on.This was my first fish last week. They are high maintenance. Starting feeding it on the 2nd day. For the first days, I had to turn off the pump and sort of drop the food on its head because it couldn’t identify when food was coming. Such a slow eater, most food went to waste. Got one bite in before the leftovers hit the subtrate and then wouldn’t touch it. Even then, 75% of the food was spit out, had to chop the brine/mysis in half. Still spitting. Better when the food is almost completely macerated. Not until yesterday night was I finally able to feed it with the pump on. Brine would just float around and it would finally attack it and get the food down and I didn’t have to stand there with a pipette dropping food in periodically for 20 minutes. It definitely prefers brine over mysis, and both over pellets. But man, went from pellet to mysis to brine. Feeding it cost more than the price of the goby.
Word to the wise, just start with brine shrimp and macerate it to a small size. Any dry food recs? Need one in the arsenal.
