Sand Sifting Goby

[JahReefster]

Anybody have any luck or horror stories with the Holothuria (tiger tail) sea cucumber Matt suggested? Do they eat just detritus or everything alive in the sand bed? If you had a good experience, where did you get it and what was the price range? I love the orange diamond spot goby but I've only had one last any length of time, and he eventually did a suicidal swan dive one night after I'd had him about 10 months.

I have a tiger and truthfully he is never in the sand bed. He eats in the rock work and on the glass and overflow. IMO the ugly black ones are the best for sand beds! My black one gets to be almost 8-10" long and is a cleaning machine!

I love my corals and clams too much, so I avoid sand sifting gobies Nassarius, conchs, and a stick are my sand movers of choice
