Dracula Goby putting himself in timeout

[congerorama]

Fairly new to the tank, he hid for a couple days then started hanging out in the open. He eats fine and seems OK other than he seems to really like just standing upright in the back corner of the tank for long periods of time. At other times he just chills around sitting on the sand in the open, he has not made any moves to make an obvious burrow yet. Anything to worry about?

Normal, he's just getting used to the tank.

Do you have a pistol shrimp in the tank?

Do you have a pistol shrimp in the tank?

I put him in with a tiny little candy pistol, but haven't seen the pistol since. I did put them in together, tried to make a little makeshift burrow before putting them in and released right there, but of course they don't do what you want haha. Pistol may still be down there, but the Goby decided to go on a walkabout and stand in the corner

I think they will eventually find each other.
