Sick Yellow Watchman Goby??

[ocellaris06]

I bought a YWG about two weeks ago. He was in good condition during the last two weeks. In this two days, it didn't eat at all. I wonder it will gone within one or two day. The other livestock in the tank is OK. paramter NH4, NO2, NO3 all zero and PH8.2.

Even I touched it with a small plastic stick, it didn't swim away!

Anyone knows what happened to my goby? I heard that some collectors for marine fish may use poison. Did anyone one of you heard about this? Is it possible that it will finish due to poison?

I don't have good luck with YWG either. Mine lasted a couple of months at most. Question.. they like to hide in the rocks. Does he have rocks to hide in/under? If not, maybe he was stressed out by the other fish. My $.02 worth.

It hides under the live rock. Just an hour ago, it swam out and I took the photo.
