Says feeding on pellets but from my experience its hard to actually get pellets to them due to their sit and wait ambush style tactics. I had to locate mine (a task in itself) and then drop the pellets basically on its head to make it eat. It may have come out during the dark and eaten more pellets left on the substrate but i never witnessed it.

If you do want to buy it I suggest witnessing it eat. These sleeper gobies can be a pain to feed.

Will be hard to get it to feed with your more aggressive feeders.
Community aussie predator tanks are very appealing but can be such a ball ache.
