New Watchmen Goby not really doing much in the tank

[Zeal]

So I got this Watchmen Goby today. I acclimated him to the tank over about an house slowly raising the salt to 1.025.

I put him in around… 3pm(?) and hasn’t really done much. He was swimming in the water column a couple hours ago then settled back down on the sand. He’s been in the same spot for a couple hours now. I did see him eat something off the sandbed.

I have a pistol shrimp in the tank I was hoping they would like up and he would be in the safety of the pistol shrimp tunnels…

Hopefully this guy survives the night…

You’ve posted the same type of post earlier this month, you’ll get the same questions. Also they do need sand

That’s just the way they are. Without a shrimp they’re just kind of… existing.

It’ll be fine, they take time to find each other sometimes

Mine has been lethargic as well for about the last month in a 32.5 gallon tank. I have a Japanese Pistol in there but they haven't paired. He hangs out in his chosen spot (behind some rockwork in his own little burrow he made) and only comes out to eat really...
