Looking for sand dwelling fish suggestions

[FishAddict87]

I recently switched from cc to sand in my 55 and trust me it looks so much better and my fish seem so much happier. I was wondering if it is possible to fit a sand dwelling fish in my tank with my current stock list. suggestions will be greatly appreciated thanks in advance. stock list is:

starry blenny
royal gramma
two bar dart fish
one baggi cardinal
black clown goby
brown clown goby
two snowflake clowns
neon blue damsel(doesnt bother any fish and keeps to itself)

The starry blenny and one of the bar dart fish are the biggest in the tank at about 4 inches. I plan to add a flame angel in the future (a few months) but would like to add a fish that would enjoy my sand. also I added 20 pounds of dry sand and 20 pounds of live sand, is that enough? in the middle of my tank it seems that the sand is moved to the side...did my fish do that? thanks for responses

Sand sifting gobies which I would avoid if you plan on having corals. Mandarins and sea moths are intersting, but very picky eaters and require a large pod population. If you could wean a mandarin onto prepared foods that might work. Jawfish stay on the bottom of tank and are pretty interesting (IMO) and easy to care for. You could also try a shrimp/goby pair, but they may get "lost" in the tank.

depending on the body shape of the sand sifter you might have aggression from the Starry Blenny.

What's wrong with sand sifting gobies and corals?

they tend to sprinkle sand all over corals, mostly ones near/on bottom
