Sand Sifter Help - Suggestions?

My sand sifting sea star does a great job of keeping the substrate clean and churned.

 

here is a fish that doesn"t get nearly the credit it deserves,convict blenny or engineer goby,what ever you want to call them. they grow fast,mine have been around a foot for a couple of years. they are in a fish only set up but would be fine in a reef as long as you don't have alot of lifeforms on your sandbed. mine always stay on the bottom on one side or the other. they do a great job of moving your sand in the back and sides of your tank.

 

I think you might need your rock well supported if you get a tunneling fish so rockwork does not become unstable. You could also try a fighting conch or a sea cucumber (get the kind that doesn't have poisonus innards). Or one of the gobys. I see the sleeper goby often at the stores though that sucker gets pretty big.

 

A jawfish might work for you too then. End of November I'm going to place an order with Sea Life Inc for jawfish, gorgonian, maybe a sponge and some marine plants. You can't beat his price on most of the stuff he sells.
