Best sand sifting fish?

[Fredrxn]

Sup guys I am looking for a sand sifting fish for my waterbox 130.4 to help turn over sand…..what would u guys recommend? Will these fish bury corals on sand bed?

My diamond goby does an amazing job, does have a tendency to make some good piles of sand but he’s a sand sifting machine

+ 1 on the diamond goby

I would also put the pair of watchman goby/pistol shrimp on the list of possibilities. They move mountains of sand and are extremely entertaining.

Another vote for the diamond goby. Mine only really clears and piles up sand in one area (where his home under the rock is). Otherwise, just sifts all day. Sand bed clean all the way thru!

The DBG is an expert in sand cleaning.
So good, he can exhaust food supplies in small or immature systems.
If he has food, great fish.
Also a jumper when startled.
