He may not have enough surface area to keep himself well fed unless the fish store is feeding him something else.Stir a little bit of sand and check for sulfer issues,grey and black layers.

I had a diamond goby for quite a while in a 46g and he was fine. He stirred the sanded throughout the day and when feeding time happened he jumped in on the action as well. I think they will just about all eat frozen foods and the like.

Have had one in my 36 gallon for 3 yrs now, no problems. He's a busy boy. I just wish that I didn't have the fine sand, cause he stirs it up all day long...

I think you'll be fine. Mine did a great job on the sand and he didn't spit it all over the corals but he was also a little pig. He would dive right in and compete with the rest of the fish anytime there was food added to the tank. Definetely the best sand sifter I ever owned.
