a decent sandsifting goby can really stir things up - and i'm assuming you have nasarius snails - those are awesome!

i have tons of those snails ,they seem to a better job when you have lots of them ,only thing with snails ,is that youll have tons more later ,but you could always give them away ,,
try sand sifting star fish ,,,as well ,
and missy said goby sifting fish ,they do work as well ,just taking in sand from there mouths and letting out there gills ,pretty cool how they do that ..

i cant remmber my firefish ever doing that.

are sea cucumbers really that goodfor a reef tank?

 

[scotty]

they are called sand sifting stars. firfish arent that kind of goby. get a watchman and while u are at it get a pistiol shrimp they mix things up and they are fun to watch pair up with the goby.

they are the sand color ,blend right into the sand ,,,pretty cool star fish ..they guild along the sand ,and like magic ,disappear ino the sand ,,,they should be about 10 bux or so ech in LFS

I've got a sandsifting goby and he really keeps things stirred up very very well. He's keeping the sand nice and white.
