She will stop doing that when she find a good hole (home). I got one did the same but she will move again if some fish mess her house. I finally give her/him away.

That's normal I had few before thay did same...day or two and everything should be back to normal and keep your lid closed

Cool fish that can drive you mad LOL

If you don't have or plan to place corals on the sand bed, they are great. They will sift your bed and keep the bed from becoming full of detritus.

But if you want to have corals on the sandbed....well...a diamond goby is likely going to frustrate you.

My kids *loved* ours, but he had to go ;-p

Love that fish, cannot imagine having a tank with sand bed without some kind of sand sifting goby. Diamond goby is my preference.
And just like somebody above said do not plan putting corals on the sand bed, it will drive you crazy.
Good luck.

Thank you so much for all your help. But now how do I catch my goby, don't need this fish anymore. I have corals on sand bed.
