I have had my diamond goby for 2 days now. He built himself a big burrow under a rock as soon as he got in. I'll see his head or his tail pop out but other than that he's not really coming out. He is filtering through the sand under the rock, but that doesn't have any food in it. Im worried he won't get enough food. Is their any way to get him to come out, or should I just him come out when he want to?
 
You can’t talk about that stuff on this forum. ;Wacky

just accept and love him/her.

She will come out when she’s settled - All gobies are born female and transition to male with another one in the tank. If it’s only 2 days then it’s not too worrying - I had a tilefish vanish and not come out to eat for 3-4 days once. And a wrasse vanish for a month only to appear alive and healthy straight to eating.
