i wouldnt bother man. most starve to death unless they are in a huge tank with a DSB. IMO, a 55 wouldnt be able to handle it. plus they will get around by eating your beneficialy creatures in there.
If you are looking to keep your sand stirred I would reccomend a bunch (30 or so) of nassarius vibex snails, and a "bullet goby" (sorry, don't know the scientific name). The bullet goby is a sand sifter, but has a small mouth, so he won't bury everything on your sandbed like the full sized sand sifting gobies do.

hmm... yeah, i was actualy thinking of one of the small shrimp gobies for my reef. i got a pink spot watchman during the feb meeting but never put it in my reef b ecause i was afraid of how much he would stir up. ive never thought of a small goby however. that is a good idea!
and the snails are a good idea since they dont eat as much as the stars.
thanks for the ideas kevin! all i have in my reef at the moment are two super tonga nassarious snails but have been thinking of what else i shoudl add.
