I also have a not so yellow watchman goby. He is also gray. I found a forum on this a while back, they were trying to find out why they sometimes changed their colour. They didn't find why. Mine was never very bright yellow, when I bought him he was a dark yellow. At first he was always the same colour, then he started to develop some gray bars, which became thicker, sometimes they went away, but they soon came back. Soon after he sarted to become fully gray. Now 10% of the time he is dark yellow, 25% of the time he is dark yellow with grai bars, and the other 65% of the time he is a very dark yellow or gray colour, with or without bars. He eats flake food, mysis shrimp and the ocasional bloodworm.

I have 2 pictures, one of when he is very yellow and one where he is slightly darker with no bars.
(these pictures were taken soon after I bought him, you can see he was a little hungry)
