I have kept them with seahorses for years with no problems. I have one engineer gobi in my reef now but no seahorses. I also have mamy tiny gobies and bleenies. I think they scare the engineer more than he scares them. The engineer is afraid of just about everything. I have had many of them for many years and I never had one get more than about 6". Maybe they sell a different type in Australia.
They are very easy to keep and will eat anything including flakes but I prefer to feed mine pellets which I drop near his den.
They are active at night and do not really come out fully in the day. A couple of pellets near his lair at night may be needed in a tank of seahorses if you only feed them some live swimming food. The gobi may not come out in the day to be fed. In a tank full of fish they will fine enough to eat on their own.
