Sleeper Not Eating

[-Nemo-]

I got a gold headed sleep goby about 3 or 4 days ago and he's doing great right now. Swimming around, digging and sifting sand. He will not, however, eat any food that I put in, he only sifts the sand for food. I don't think this is going to be enough, there's only so much sand in a 29g tank. What can I feed him, or how can i get him to eat?
I tried mysis, flake food, and pellet food.

Thanks,
Steph

Hi I've done a goggle search and it seems this is the natural way for this fish to feed, read this it might help.

Gorgeous little fish

They are gorgeous, tons of personality as well. He's taken a liking to my clownfish, and "sleeps" next to their host coral at night.

I know that this is their natural way, i'm just worried that he won't be getting enough from it. so if there's some kind of special food i can use that'll land on the sand and he'll get, or something like that.
