Default Yashia Goby hiding :(

I bought a Yashia Goby on Friday and since that day he's hiding I know where he hides so I can target feed him, he's eating but he won't come out Do you guys have any experience with Yashia Gobies? How long is he going to hide

90G tank

Livestock:

1 Yellow Tang
1 False perc
1 Black clown
1 Cherub Angel

They're not aggressive, they don't bother any new fish and they didn't attack my goby.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the answer Toytech, I hope so too =/ My fish are quiet small, my Yellow Tang is 2 inches, my clowns are also 2 inches and my Cherub Angel 1inch and a half. I hope he gets used to them fast, he's such a nice fish and I hate watching him hide

It's normal that your yasha is hiding because that's its nature instinct. Yasha goby is a shrimp goby which means that they prefer to have a burrow and won't leave far from their burrow. You may consider getting a pistol to go with that yasha. That will make it more comfortable and hopefully get out from its burrow more.

We have one in a biocube with 2 clown gobies and a pistol shrimp. We don't see him for weeks think he's dead then surprise hangs out front for a day or two then gone again.

Have faith in the last couple of days my very timid yellow watchman has been coming out way more , swimming all over the tank. I also vote for getting a pistol shrimp because thats just plain cool.
