I have a diamond goby and a yellow watchman goby. I will answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Diamond goby, love this fish. When you first add it, you will have a sandstorm. The larger your tank the longer it will last, got that bit of info from another reefer who's tank is larger than mine. It will reaquascape on a regular basis, if you are particuar about your sand being just so, pass on this fish. If you want spotlessly clean sand, he's your guy. Mine stopped piling sand up into hills and valleys after appx. 6 months, still sifts like a madman, I think he knows how it annoys me. :rollface: They like to make tunnels underneath your rockwork, they will continually build and rebuild these, I think it is his favorite passtime. From day 1 he has eaten anything I offered, hard to feed you say, not in my particular case. He is very sweet, I have not had any aggression issues.
Yellow watchman goby, I have not had this guy as long, mine is still rather small. He does sift on a much smaller scale. Kicked up no sand into the tank. No reaquascaping from him. I do not think this fish will keep my sand bed tidy, in this tank I will have to continue to rely on my nasarius snails. He eats well, what ever I offer as well. This one is very timid is easily frightened and will scoot under the rock work. For looks, IMO this one has it over the diamond, but if your grading for work, the diamond is a powerhouse and get an A+.
Both have their good points and drawbacks but I have never been disapointed, love them both.
