Well, the will decimate your live sand and then die. Sorry.

Way to think positive...

If you feed small pieces of meaty food, it will end up on the sand bed. You can help keep the fish alive when he eats those. Even if he isnt specifically aiming for the pieces of meat, he will end up straining them out as he works over the sand bed.

Thinking positive is buying on impulse a fish you do not know how to sustain. Your strategy has been tried by my LFS in a 1000 gallon tank. It does not work. Clean up crew and other inhabitants will get to the food first. In any case they eat small crustaceans present in live sand. And how long has your sleeper goby lived in your tank?
