Goby and Shrimp...question about location

[Semo]

Hey,
I have a paired diamond goby and pistol shrimp. They seem to stay in the back of my tank out of sight unless you really look for them. This really bites having the pair, but not being able to watch them.

I am curious as to if they will relocate or stay there indefinately? If they will stay put, is there any thing to do to motivate them to relocate on thier own? I really doubt I can physically move either of them due to the location of the back bottom of the tank.

I have only had them about 3-4 weeks and I have only been able to see them for a couple of weeks in the spot I am referring. This is the only spot I have noticed them being. I didn't see them for at least a week after I put them in the tank.

u can try remodeling your rock work and maybey put a small cave in front view?

Update...they actually seem to be unpaired now and I never see the shrimp unless I look under the tank where he has lots of tunnels...kind of bites..

i'm not sure the "sleeper" gobies will readily pair with a shrimp

Since they are not a pair this is probably a useless point but IME they move the entrance to their burrow as they please. My yellow watchman and pistol pair moved all over my 75 reef, making tunnels all over the place.
