Do you have sand as a substrate? The can dig and hide in the sand.

Check around the tank as well. They can be jumpers if they want. Otherwise, I agree with tropicfishman and Zagz. Either just hiding (check around the inside of the tank, lift up some decos if you want) or has burrowed in the substrate.

Interesting read, people buy 6 and have them all go missing only to re-appear.

Joey, stop adding them, if they are being eaten you're throwing your money away, if they aren't, you're going to end up with a tank full of BB gobies.
They must be in the substrate, there aren't too many fish that will inhale 2 gobies at a time, and there aren't any in your tank.
If you want to find them, remove all decoarations and put them aside, then start moving the gravel around (gently) you can do this by waving your hand gently above the gravel(it will blow around).. you'll probably find you can uncover 1 or 2 easily.
Also, they are brackish, so you should be adding some salt to the water.

I certainly will be interested in knowing if you find them. Make sure to post whether you've found them or not. Another thought, do you have cats or dogs? If they are getting out of the tank and you have pets, esp. cats, they might be getting to them before you find them.
