Really you dont like the lil fella? I love my Watchman. I only managed to move my Watchman from the 32 to 125 because I took all the rocks out. Haha, they are pretty good escape artists.

You mean you have sand floating around? What quality is your sand? Like sugar sand? Also, powerheads. But it could just be crud that has been worked up, and he is just kicking it up, if so, it will die down. never had that issue with mine, even with sugar sand and lots of powerheads.

That's normal for the sand sifting gobies.

After time, he would have sifted all the crap out the sand and It won't cloud the tank anymore. And the two ways to get it out is to remove all your rocks, or leave the lid off and wait for him to jump out. :)

When I first got my goby my tank was like that for a few days too. He just sifted and sifted and sifted like non stop at first. Also, had to move all the empty shells around. He settled after a few days and so did the cloudiness. He still sifts but not to the extreme that he was at first. I would give it some time because they ate really cool fish to watch.
Yeah there's grains of sand floating around. I have the Caribsea Arag Alive Fiji Pink and Hydor Koralia Evolution 1400. Don't get me wrong I think it's an ultra cool fish to watch and have since it's a functional little guy. I'm just worried about the amount of sand floating around and settling over the rocks (which has happened this morning) causing the levels in the tank to be thrown off, true/not-true? The rocks has a dust coating of sand over it. I guess there's no easy way in catching this guy...he's in there for good lol.
Also I think he's rearranging to make himself a home - literally moving sand from one end of the tank to the other end...pretty cool to watch.

I failed Kobayashi Maru
Give it time (as long as he's not spitting sand onto the corals). Mine was cloudy for a week constantly....my skimmer skimmed like crazy. But after that week, my water stays crystal clear, and my sand is pristine.
