Lost Clown Goby

I bought 3 green clown gobies put them into my 125G mixed Reef never to see them again. About 2 years later I put a good sized Green Millepora into the tank after a short period of time noticed that the polyps in the middle of the Millepora were not opening and there he was one of the missing gobies was alive and well living in the protection of the Millepora. The other 2 seem to be missing in action.

Are they pretty much just interested in stony branching corals?

I also havent seen my fire goby in weeks? Are they the same way, or is it safe to say he is sleeping with tthe fishes ( no pun intended)

I bought a yellow clown goby about a week ago and it is always hanging out at the front in the corner of the tank, about halfway down. Funny thing is if I open the lid to feed he takes off into the rocks. I have seen his reflection in the back of the tank and he does seem to be darting out quick and then back into his little hidey hole at feeding time so I think he is eating. I can see them being very timid, though, and not showing themselves for a long time.
