    I just got a yellow watchman goby from my LFS. I don't know exactly what to feed him. I have flakes for my clowns and seawed for man tang. Anything on this guy?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Mine loves a combination of frozen mysis and other meaty sea foods. He will eat some pellets, but he chows down on the Rod's Foods.

    That's pretty normal for a new goby. Give him some time and he will settle down and begin to sift the sand bed and make a burrow.
