I Just got pistol and goby pair. They've started to dig a tunnel where i cant see them and i would really like too see them. So i was wondering if there was a way to get them to a new spot?

they should move around. when i first got my pair, they went to the middle of the back of my tank -___- but within a few days they figured out where the food would float and moved to the front corner. I gave them to my friend when my reef crashed and they dont stay in one place in his tank, in fact they have a few little holes

The only reason I know my pair is still around is I hear the shrimp and the ywg made a guest apperance the other day after being mia for a month or so.

I used to have a pair and they just made many different tunnels. Some entrances you could see, others you just couldn't. I think it is hit it miss with that. However, if you are able to look up at the glass bottom from underneath your tank you can see all if their tunnels. I personally thought that was awesome!

Mine like to move around the tank too, there are about 4 different entrances to the tunnels right now & 2 are currently in use. Mine hid the first 2 weeks I got them & then I used to see my pair all the time for breakfast. The goby ended up w/ a swim bladder issue & he came out of it ok but then decided to go back underground w/ the shrimp & I haven't seen him in about 3 weeks.
