Diamond goby

[David3147]

Not worried about sand storms, I am concerned about it building a castle and burning the corals. I know it's hard to guess, but those that have had them for multiple years, do they all eventually build hugs mounds of sand and bury stuff?

Once upon a time my sandbed was level...

short answer, YES they will bury everything.

I recommend watchman goby or jawfish they still make burrows but once they settle they don't move from that place

My diamond goby might be broken, have had him for a couple of years and he is very good at not making a mess! ;-) He lives in one of the lower caves on the sand bed and sticks to that..

Any other (nearly) model Diamond goby citizens for 2-3 years? I don't think there's another goby that cleans the sand any better and doesn't have worse issues (e.g. sleeper gobies that gulp sand and swim to top of water column and dumping it everywhere). Some people have suggested hectors and decorated ---thoughts?

I placed spacers under one rock for mine to dig under and that is the only area it trys to cover.
