I have searched through all of the posts about Gobies and haven't quite found the information I am looking for.

What type of Goby do you have? What do you feed him? And, how much sifting does he do in your sand?

I want to purchase a Goby to keep my sand sifted. I am not 100% sure that I want a diamond watchman because I am reading that they may dig a little too much for my liking and cover my coral in sand. I am wondering what other types of Gobies will help keep the surface of my sand stirred a little without doing too much burrowing.

Info about my tank.
4 months old
60 gallons
2 inch sand bed of aragonite
70 lb rock
CUC 6 snails and 10 hermits
1 emerald crab
1 peppermint shrimp
2 clown fish
2 firefish
1 lawnmower blenny

I plan on slowly adding soft coral in the next few weeks.
I don't plan on adding anymore fish until my tank is well established (maybe at 1 year mark)
 
In my experience with sand sifting gobies they all will do exactly that. They will not only sift the top layer.
