Sand Feeders

[ebliss1]

Hi all - just a quick question. My 12 gallon nano seems to be settling into a nice routine, with one exception.

I have a shallow sand bed (about half an inch), but none of my critters seem overly interested in cleaning it. They do a good job on the rocks and glass, but the sandbed is getting ignored.

I currently have:

1 diadema pseudochromis (miserable little thing, but pretty)
1 false percula clown
1 3-stripe damsel
4 hermit crabs
1 mexican turbo snail
3 astrea snails
1 emerald crab

The tank is too small for a brittle star most likely, and the sandbed is too shallow for a fighting conch, a sandsifting starfish or a cleaner clam.

Does anyone have an suggestions?

Thanks a bunch.

cerith snails all the way. Get like 5 or 6 of em and they'll clean the sand out very well. They'll also clean everything else
