Thanks for the input. Mine hides all the time.. and only comes out for feedings as well.

By the sounds of things, it seems like he should be okay in the BB setup . If I notice he starts acting a little weird, I'll fix the problem.

Thank you all.

Well if it's BB, they HAVE NO CHOICE but to hide in the rock crevices. I'm sure they'll 'make do,' but I wouldnt go so far as to say they're 100% happy.

They're used to sand in their natural environment. I think they should be provided with sand in a captive environment.

True that's like putting seahorse in a tank with nothing to branch on to.Sure they might live but are they happy.

You probably noticed your goby sifting the sand to get algae and the micro-organisms it needs.

IMO you should remove it and place it in an environment that suits it needs.
