Yes, it's an adult Convict Blenny (sometimes called an Engineer Goby). Scientific name: Pholidichthys leucotaenia. They like to dig a lot.

Some people call it a goby and other people call it a blenny. It's neither.

If you don't want to have trouble with rock slides, you can re-stack your rocks directly on the glass and add the sand around them that way if they dig nothing will happen. My daughter bought 2 juvies but they disappeared
