I recently bought an orang stripe prawn goby. Anyone have any tips or experiences with them?
 
I have had one for just over 2 years now (( was a pair, but lost the smaller one, along with the original shrimp when I moved )), that is paired with a tiger pistol shrimp.

If you pair it with a shrimp, be prepared for them to move any frags that you have on the sandbed. I have gotten to the point of providing them empty frag plugs, it helps for a bit. As annoying as they can be at times, it is still really cool to watch them do their work. Mine isn't all that aggressive, can be a bit skittish at times, and isn't all that aggressive at feeding time, so make sure that enough food gets to it.
 
I'm going to look for a pistol shrimp for it. Overall they are pretty hardy and easy to care for though?

Mine has been, never had any issues.

How deep is your sandbed?
 
Sand bed is about 2" deep. Maybe a bit more
