Very beautiful fish. My royal gramma only comes out later in the day and at feeding time. Then he scoots back into the rock to hide. Been that way since I got him over a month ago. Shy and skittish. What are the goby's like, I see they are popular in many tanks. Since yours is under the rock as well do they hide also ?

It varies on the individual fish but mine have been pretty outgoing. My watchman goby is usually under his rock but his head is always out to look at me. My little clown goby is always crawling over the rocks and rarely hides.

From what I understand they hide most of the time, mine hides under the rock but if I look close enough I can sort of see him. When he sees me he flares out his fins trying to scare me away. Here's a link with some info on them
