What sand sifting fish are good with Special Grade Reef Sand?

[weaglereefer]

Got my sand in my new tank and love it! It looks to be the perfect size, small enough to look like sand, big enough to stay put.

I'd like to get a sand sifting fish but want one to make sure it will be okay with the sand (particles look 1-2mm) and not choke.

Also, I have a Yellow Watchman that recently returned (thought he was a gonner in March) so it'd need to be compatible.

Thanks!

ROFL, that's one of the ones I was looking at.

I recently put a diamond goby in the 120 and had to reseat some of my LR that it was digging under, but that little sucker pretty much sifts from the time the lights come on until sundown.

I placed my LR on large pieces of eggcrate and built up a level, then put sand down, so it should have a solid foundation that I doubt a fish can move.

Guess I'll keep my eyes out for a diamond goby, but I'll need to pull some zoa frags onto the rocks.

When my Diamond is really sifting it looks like a sand storm in there

So will they swim up then rain down sand? Don't want a messy fish...

My diamond keeps my sand looking good but he will cover frags / corals on the sandbed. Occasionally he will swim up higher dropping sand but not often.
