What is the best or your favorite sand sifting fish!?!

I have a deep sandbed. About 2 inches and looking for something other than my conch and nassarius snails to turn it over.

I got rid of my diamond gobies. I was way too tired of turkey basting sand off the corals. Won't make that mistake again.

I love my Dimond Gobi, best sand sifter.

Has anyone kept Bicolor Goatfiah? Grrat looking, interesting character ... i had one for 1 year, ate aggressively but did not grow and withered away...

Love my diamond goby. Perhaps I’ve been lucky but it doesn’t deposit sand anywhere other than back on the sandbed. Occasionally it does seem inclined to make little mountains but they are more comical than harmful

Gold head sleeper was the biggest mistake on this build. Sand everywhere and looks at me like what you gonna to about it butt hole. I got news for him when the 220 gets hear.

Great thread idea! What are your favorite sand sifters? Let's get some more participation here! (Also, I fixed the title.)

Decorated Goby. Doesnt build massive mounds and slowly sifts the sand. Even drops it in the same spot it took it from.

My little one.

Super rare “tongus stirrus”. I’m pretty funny me thinks.

This guy leaves sand EVERYWHERE! Want him? Come catch him lol. I do love its personality. Also that the sand is so clean. But the rocks always have sand everywhere lol He photo bombed me trying to get a pic of the hermit riding the snail.

Ha! Thank you!

my favorite are the twin spot gobies. I’ve always wanted to do a pair of them.

Got a Japanese Bella Goby. Beautiful fish, keeps my sand pristine but like others he is a royal PITA as he gets sand over all my low lying corals. Tried putting my acans on rocks to get them up higher which has helped a bit but still messy. If I could catch him, I probably pull him out but I can’t so every day I go with my coral feeder and blow the sand off the corals multiple times in a day. Annoying.
