Here’s just a few of mine, I have;
2x Yellow Clown Gobies (the second has vanished unfortunately)
1x Black Clown Goby
1x Yasha Goby
1x Griessinger Goby
1x Yellow Watchman Goby

And if we include a Mandarin as a ‘Goby’ then I also have Synchiropus picturatus - The spotted mandarin.

Hey goby pros... What's the best sand sifting goby?

Honestly, none. If your sandbed is clear then chances are they’ll be starved of most of their nutrients.

The Diamond goby and the Blue dot goby can move a lot of sand, but they can make a mess.

I bought a yellow watchman + pistol shrimp pair back in 2016 when I got my first reef tank.. fast forward to now I still have the yellow watchman (he’s huge) but our pistol shrimp buddy passed a while ago… I never thought fish could become family but man.. me and this guy have been through it all together. I love my goby and I’d run into a burning building to save him

Yellow watchman!!!! They’ll keep your sand bed clean AND eat pellets/mysis so you don’t have to worry about them being starved of nutrients

HAHA... I have had a YWG and Pistol pairs in my last 2 tanks... Love them, and that's def my go-to for the reasons you mentioned but was looking for a change this tank. Maybe I just stick with it.

I have a yellow clown in my office tank that's lots of fun and a pair of griessingeri that I rarely see. Im suspicious I may have lost one but they are so cryptic it's too early to tell. I saw him a little while ago.

How long have you had that Twin Spot… Love those and had one in my first tank… Hear nothing but issues with keeping them lately as I’ve been looking things up.

He lived almost 4 years. Never had issues. Died in a crash . As soon as my upgrade is ready I am getting another one.
