There is a sand sifting goby in there, but he mostly eats pellets and mysis. I saw the sand diver eel eat frozen chunks of silversides at the LFS I bought him from, and I think he eats mysis too. My main concern is what if I can't find him to spot feed him. At the LFS Mike put the food close to him and he came out of the sand and traveled up a little bit to eat it. He was in a 180g in the LFS and was able to see him easily in their tank, I kinda thought I'd be able to at least see his little head poke out in mine. I guess it's only been a few hours so hopefully over the next few days he'll come out and I'll see him. BTW I never seen or heard of one before either, I think that's why I had to have him
