They are eating all sorts of stuff while they sift, much of it being algae. They also spend a lot of time picking at the rocks for algae. Algae makes up the better part of their diet. My Hector's Goby did well in my 33 while the tank had some different algae growing while I was working out of province, but once I was around enough to do regular maintenance (water changes) he perished along with the algae.
