Okay so time for me to start beefing up my CUC and adding bio diversity to my tank...tank is on day 205. And I am a good janitor but want to get some utility creatures...I will already have 2 lazy free loading clowns lol....any creature from here on out will have to have a job ....

I don't want anything that will move rocks a bunch as I do not secure them with anything other then good placement and gravity..

I have a 36g DT with 29g sump/Fuge

I was told Bumblebee Snails and Rainford's Goby/Court Jester Goby
OR
Hector's Goby

Would be suited for my tank

I wanted a diamond but was told they will outgrow the tank.

Just looking for suggestions or feedback on the subject.

Thanks in advance!
 
Fighting conchs have been very effective for me along with nassarius snails. The conchs knock my small clam around some times but they don't move rocks. They have done wonders for my sand.

Awesome thanks I will look into both!

I would like to hear some feedback from anyone with the Rainford or Hector's Goby to see if they actually do help clean sand...I think they look awesome so would love to add one regardless...
 
I've tried a few gobies with a similar size tank btw (not the ones you're listing though) and the ones i tried were bulldozers (diamond, yellow watchman and one more i can't remember). Maybe someone can pitch in for the ones you're mentioning but i didn't like my experience with them because of that... They did move a lot of sand though :)
